Tsubaki looks up from the small task she had been given by her uncle. She was carefully lining up vials in the stand after so carefully ensuring that they were only the sterile ones from within the sealed box and only after she was properly washed and outfitted. "Miss? My name is Tsubaki. I am helping my Uncle Kirukoto. He says most of you here call him Hax? I dunno what that means, but he seems to think its funny. I dun get grown up jokes." She shrugs, but offers her a bright smile. Her short black hair wrapped in a hairnet and her face behind a safety shield. Her little uniform seems tailor made for her. "Who are you, lady?"
Kirukoto's head whips up when hearing Sawako begin to speak. A raised eyebrow at their conversation and for the moment he decides to let it be. No harm here in this conversation. Such is his comfort level with his coworkers in this lab, particularly since he could still supervise the young artificial being. He makes a few final adjustments to the forensics lab and gives Tsubaki a head tilt with a concerned if slightly furrowed brow. "Iamprettysurethatweneedtotalkaboutprotocol,Tsubaki,"he says gently while placing his hands on her shoulders the way any uncle would. "Pleaseexcusehermanners,Vice-captain,wehavenothadanyopportunitytoexplaintoherwaystoproperlyaddressadultsmuchlesssuperiors.Iwilltakeresponsibilitytoensureshelearns.She'sagoodkid." He is taking no chances with this higher ranked officer. He has survived working in this place knowing just how to talk to people and knowing what to do. At no point does his tone sound anything less or more than that of a kind uncle. With that out of the way he finally, after all this time, evaluates this woman. Strong in reiatsu, filled with grace, and quite attractive. This is information that he files away for later. For now, learning about this woman's personality and what she is like takes priority before considering any personal opinions. He thought Mayuri was pretty hot when he served him, but his personality was terribly off putting. Nemu was always too into Mayuri, but there was nothing that he could say bad about her. For their first encounter, he is behaving rather conservatively, though he is well aware of his reputation as the division's most glamorous and fabulous of basement dwellers. "Thelabisready,Vice-Captain."

S A W A K O ☤ H A G I W A R A She was unaware Kirukoto had a niece but she was absolutely adorable. From her little smoak to her face shield- just the cutest little scientist she ever did see! Whatever the circumstances for her being here, Sawako certainly wasn’t against it. It was hard not to laugh at the little one not getting the joke of her uncle’s nickname. As tech savvy as he was with computers, the name was appropriate. If she recalled, he was responsible for most if not all the computers and the network for the 12th Division. It was then that she was reminded of manners and protocol by Hax himself as he spoke to his niece. “Oh, no, she’s fiiiine~ I always forget these...introduction things. I’m Sawako Hagiwara, vice captain of this wonderful laboratory” she hummed, gesturing to the lab around them. “Ah! Speaking of, we have work to do! And I feel relieved to know we’ll have little Tsubaki-chan’s help in getting things done.” Breaking away from the two, Sawako would take the time to wash up and put on a lab coat as well. She would then begin to set out the evidence she recovered from the scene. “Oh, Hax? Can I leave the mud analysis to you and Tsubaki-chan? I feel if we could discern where it came from we could learn more about what happened” the woman explained, setting the samples out on the counter. As for herself, she was going to shift through the girl’s stomach contents. She was curious what she would find...
Sora arrives at his division humming a song that was playing on his radio. He then walks down the hall wondering where Hikage was, the shrimp from second division had escaped him yet again. Sora smiles though as he steps into his office mumbling the lyrics to what ever song he was listening to. He had sensed his vice captain, Hax, and the kid in the bigger lab but decided to leave them be. He quickly checks to see if he has any messages. And see's just one from Hikage who was mocking his futile efforts as usual. Though Sora was not always the loser in their so called duels. Which his reluctant friend admitted to telling him job well done but that he was still a loser. Sora only laughs at the insults and sends him a message saying that he would win next time. Once he is done taking care of things in his office he goes over to his lab and lets himself in. Sora then checks on his experiments. He saw that a couple had failed and could not wait to tell Hikage. Mostly to annoy him which was always fun, Sora quickly jots down any notes that he needs to make and checks on another. Hikage was interested in any that were successful especially if he could make us of it. The last of the plant experiments that he checked was one where the leaves were actually kunai. This one was one of the few that seemed to have worked. "Yes now I just need to get Hikage-kun to come and test them for me." He says happily hurrying from his lab to go message his friend about his success.

Hax relaxes and smiles. She does not seem terribly bothered by this at all. "Thankyou,Vice-Captain," he says was a slight bow. "Iwillgetonitrightaway.Tsubaki,followme.Thereismuchtolearn,mydear!" He sets about mixing the particulates when he hears Sora lingering in the hallway and muttering about something. Deciding that it would be wise to divide the task further to speed things along he heads over to the hallway. "Sora,getinhere.Wehaveabigcasethatneedstobesolvedsoonerthanlater.Someidiotattackedanobleandnowthewholeseireiteiisinanuproar.Wegotevidencedshippedintous."He grabs him by the sleeve and pulls the giant shinigami in from the hallway. "Gogetwashedupandhelpmewiththissoilsample.Iwillrunchemicalanalysis,Iwantyoutopickthroughtheparticulatesandidentifythem.Yourtalentisinearthsciences,right?" His phone chirps, literally soundling like a chorus of bird song suddenly. "Eh,whoisitnow?" he mutters and glances at the messages. "Ah!Vice-Captain!Therewillbemoreevidenceonthewayassoonaspossibleviacourier." No sooner is that said there is a messenger flash stepping toward the building. The division five member is carrying a paper sack with the word evidence labled on it. After getting let through he brings it to the entrance of the lab itself. "Thankyou~!"he says with a grin and delivers it directly to Sawako. "Ah,herewego.Freshandpromptlydelivered.Nowifonlythosedivisionfivememberscouldteachthelocalpizzaplacetodeliverlikethiswithoutwreckingmyvegetarianpizza."
Tsubaki was looking concerned at first when she heard her uncle call her on lack of protocol and manners, but then take responsibility for not teaching her yet. "Uh, yeah, sorry, Vice-Captain." She then perks up and smiles when she hears Sawako's reply. "Glad to meet you!" She then follows along with her uncle as he shows her how to divide the sample and prepare it for testing. Before he can finish he is pulling a tall man named Sora into this. Innocently she sets about the task that he has given her. "Sort, sort, sorty sort. This here that there. Half and half again~" she sings to herself.
Ikasu enters his division and just steps aside to let the division five member dip out quickly. Normally he steps aside for nobody but vice-captain and above or somebody higher rank than him in the social food chain, but he knows that these guys work hard and need to get to where they are going in a hurry when on messenger duty. Besides he suspects that they have something to do with the forensics evidence he got messaged about. He stops at his office door to see it slightly open with Kirukoto's maintainance card still in it. Ripping it out he sighs and walks in to get his lab coat and sees the flask broken and its pieces scattered, dirty vials laying on the counter, and the incubator bay devoid of the core frame of his project. Quirking an eyebrow he frowns. "I doubt threatening his vacation would do any good. Better go see what Uncle Hax is up to ..." He walks down towards the forensics lab and sees Hax directing the resident red wood to help him with dirt. Good, now he doesn't have to be roped into that. A small figure in an over sized lab coat catches his attention. "What is this?" his artificial eyes scan the youth and his eyes fly wide. Thoughts of her as a project simply crumble away as he feels a sudden fatherly urge. "...""Hi, my name is Tsubaki!""Tsubaki, I am your father. It is good to meet you. You certainly look busy, little one." He leans over and looks at her project. "Most interesting. What is Uncle Kirukoto having you do?""Cutting dirt into piles so we can test it!" she cheers gleefully."Oh, I see. Good girl, Tsubaki. Papa is proud," he says without a hint of irony. He cannot fathom where this is welling up from. The same man who said that he would never let himself get attached to a project like this. The same man who did only what he had to do with family. And yet, he feels this draw and desire to protect her and care for her. Maybe there is a heart in there somewhere. Truth be told he does not even hate his family. He has just tried to distance himself from them lately and he does not know why. He walks over to Sawako and bows politely. "Vice-captain, sorry it took a while. I got the notice while I was in the bath." He grins at her and finishes cinching his lab coat shut. "How can I help this project out?"
S A W A K O ☤ H A G I W A R A Sawako was preparing her own station to begin sifting through the muck she collected. Setting small samples into individual dishes, it could be discerned what the victim ate or consumed after a bit of study. Before she could get started, more collected evidence would be delivered to the lab for testing by a Squad 5 messenger. The woman opened the bag that Kirukoto handed her, parsing through its contents. Ah, now she was torn on which to study first! Trying to decide which to examine first would be interrupted as the little girl began singing a little tune that made her swoon. “Tsubaki-chan, you could stay here forever if you’d like~” Sawako cooed. With Hax pulling in Sora to assist them and soon after Ikasu joined them as well, it seemed she would have to give up one of her subjects to the others in order to get this done in a timely fashion. Then Ikasu would approach the child, declaring he was her father, taking Sawako by surprise yet again. When did Ikasu find the time to start a family? She watched their conversation quietly until the 3rd seat came to her, apologizing for his tardiness. “What do you mean? You’re right on time, Ikasu-kun. Here, I’ll leave you to identify this sample of evidence” Sawako smiled, holding the paper bag out to him. Since she already had another test lined up, she could reluctantly pass this one on to Ikasu. “I had no idea you had a daughter. Why didn’t you tell me?”
Sora had been hurrying down the hall when he was called by one of his superiors. He changes direction and walks over to Hax temporarily setting aside the thought that he wanted to contact Hikage. This was more important it seemed. "Yeah, Sure anything you need Hax sempi." He says as he is pulled into the lab. Sora heads over to the sink to wash up and changes his lab coat inside out so that the dirty side would not chance contaminating the samples. Though this meant potentially ruining his clothes. That did not matter to him it would not be the first or last time he ruined an outfit. "Hello Vice Captain Hagiwara-sama." He says bowing to his Vice Captain after he washes up. He then turns back to Hax "Pizza? What is... never mind I do not need to know." He then looks at the little girl and debates how to greet her. With a light smile he bows to the child then walks to his station. Sora was not used to dealing with children and was not sure how to best interact with one. He sets about the task the was given to him that at least he knew how to handle. "Hmm oh yes." He says focusing on the task at hand. He was surprised that they were using the help of a child and wondered if he should call Hikage in to help too. But decides against it his friend from the second division would most likely be to busy with training or something. Besides he was only willing to help test experiments not deciphering samples. Sora looks up as Ikasu enters the lap as well. It seemed as if all or almost all of the seated officers were present. "Hello Ikasu sempi." He says before turning back to his task. He cleanly jots down anything he finds as he works. Like Sawako, Sora is surprised to learn that their third seat was a father but he tried to mind his own task. Unconsciously humming along with what ever song the little girl was singing. Though after a moment or two he pulls out his headphones and listens to his music while he works. The volume is low enough that if someone spoke he would still be able to hear them.
As Ikasu prepares to help out in the lab, he smirks to himself. How to best answer? Perhaps the truth is best. He pulls out a small container the size of an eye glass case and swaps out his eyes then goes and washes his hands. "I suppose I should handle the chemical analysis of the blood and fluids." He knows that he has not answered yet but is searching for the right words. "I built Tsubaki in my lab. Though it seems that it has not been an entirely solo effort. I spliced my genes with that of at least one woman here in this division to avoid the pitfalls of direct cloning. I had Hax help develop the computer parts for her systems, but for the most part she is organic, save for her skeleton and the computer parts of her brain. Rather like me, actually." He looks proud of himself for her existence. "Though, it seems that I have had some help in this regard according to the access log," he says with amusement looking right at Sawako.
Tsubaki cheerfully chimes in, "I'm helping, Papa! I'll make you proud!" This elicits a smile from Ikasu and Hax. She happily provides help wherever instructed. She is honestly a happy child.
Kirukoto grins to himself as he listens in on what is going on. "Alright,let'sgetthisrolling." He sets about work cheerfully humming to himself RŮDE by Eternal Youth. He flicks his fingers over a panel on the wall and the music starts playing. "Justtellthecomputeryourrequests,boysandgirls.Nosenseinworkinginsilence.Sora,gotanythingsofar?"

S A W A K O ☤ H A G I W A R A As Ikasu gave the entire spiel of how Tsubaki came into being, Sawako was already putting two and two together. The look of shock on her face as if the man had done some heinous act would appear on her face. This meant the blob she found in his lab earlier...was this child now called Tsubaki. "Ikasu...how could you...?" she gasped, looking at the little girl. In the same breath, she would quickly scoop the child up into her arms, hugging her tightly and pressing her cheek into her face shield. "How could you not come to me sooner about this?! This precious little girl would've been here sooner if you weren't so shy about your projects!" Sawako smiled. "It's true, I used my own DNA in the solution to help create her. I saw the skin you were trying to make and I had to help" the vice captain admitted, gently putting the girl down. The woman smiled warmly at the little one, just admiring everything about her. "I knew you were a cutie the moment I laid my eyes on you then- Ah! I will have to get you a birthday gift later." But with that, it was time they got back to work and looked into the clues they had. "We can talk more later. For now, let's get to work everyone!" Sawako clapped, returning to her samples she already set out. Hax would even put on some music for them to listen to as they worked. It wouldn't take her long to sift through it all and find out what all the bile contained.
Sora turns his own radio off when Hax turns the one in the lab on. He keeps his focus on his task until Hax asks him about his progress. "Huh? Oh hold on a second Hax-san." He says "Just waiting on the last tests to be done." These were actually not necessary as he believed that he already had his answer. But it was best to be thorough. A few more minutes pass then Sora turns to the others and says "Alright from what I have found the dirt came from the graveyard here in the souls society. Is their anything else you want me to work on?" As Sora gives his information he cleans up his work area in preparation for the next task. "Oh I also found tiny amounts of fabric material can not really say anything about it since it is not in my area." He points at a small dish that he had set aside. He knew that the fabric like material could be nothing or could be something important.

Ikasu sweat drops as the words 'How could you?' are uttered. A thrill of dread and guilt wash over him, emotions that he rarely feels. Had what he done been so wrong? He just wanted ... what had he wanted originally? He is quickly forgetting ever since he has felt that first bond with little Tsubaki. However, he is not left to dwell on this long before she seems to gather herself together and finish the statement 'How could you not come to me sooner ...' The rest of her words pour out and his look of anxiety is replaced with shock and relief. He grins sheepishly as she admits to helping and being one of the female donors. He could think of worse genetic profiles. Her pleasant features could be seen mixed in with his own the more he looks at the two of them. "Honestly, I was not sure what your reaction would be. Thank you for your assistance." He was originally upset about the tampering when he found out about it in the records, however the results are good and there are none more qualified than Sawako for bio-engineering. An acceptable choice. No, a most definitely more than acceptable choice. There were none he knew more capable of such quality work in that field. While he has several doctorates in various sciences, his majors were chemistry and robotics. None surpass him in the arts of prosthetic cybernetics and assistive machinery. At least not in this division. Sawako is not only pleased she is positively enthusiastic about the young life they have brought into this world together. Another proud parent, unlike the other female donor who only viewed Tsubaki as an 'it' and a 'thing.' If Lilith ever comes back, which is unlikely at this point, she will not be granted a second chance with Tsubaki. As soon as the little 'family' is done with their bonding Sawako reminds them of the task at hand. "Toss in a few heavy metal songs from my play list, Uncle," he requests after the fifth hip hop song in a row. He lines all of his samples up in a row, each labeled and given detailed notes on what it is prior to destruction for chemical analysis. After he is done with his results he calls out, "The chemical analysis of the stomach contents, blood, and other bodily secretions says that there had been some form of poison, but nonlethal. It seems to be a sedative that is considered illegal here. In addition to that the blood alcohol level on some of the samples is fairly high. Enough that she would probably have not been able to see the attack coming to prevent it even without the drugs. The details are in the report that I am printing up right now." He quickly types up his report on his hard light device and sends his report and results to the printer. He would prefer this to be completely digital, but even he understands the necessity to have a hard copy for something like this. Besides, if this case ever makes it to court, it will be required to have something that even the Ludites in the court can hold and read through and scratch notes.
Tsubaki cheerfully hugs Sawako back and grins up at her. "Oh wow! Really?! That's awesome! Thank you!" she cheers gleefully. "Okay! I'll get to work! I'll make you proud!" The little girl happily sets about helping her family out. In fact it seems that the only one she is not actually related to is Sora, but for the moment she does not know this. For now, she decides that she will call him Oji-tan, a diminutive form of Uncle in Japanese. The youngster may only be a few hours old as of her 'hatching' from the jar and the incubator, but she is eager to be a good girl and be as helpful as possible. "Done sorting all these little rocks for you, Sora-san!" They are arranged according to color, size, and type and the dirt is in its own neat pile. She watches with fascination as he examines every little minutia of the soil sample. "Woah. So much can be learned from dirt!"
Hax grins at them and shakes his head. Those crazy kids. They'll out do him some day with off the wall ideas. At least none will be able to top the fact that he has been both mother and father to his own children and not figuratively. His spouses have been all carefully selected to be accepting of his particular special requirements. He is a perfect hermaphrodite - a chimera of what was originally fraternal twins of opposite sex. And this has had the rare effect of having fully functional organs of both sexes. He is in a word intersex and in addition to that by his own decision basically pangender and as a result pansexual - though only self limiting himself to whatever is legal age of the current era, his preference being whoever was clearly adult and accepting of his situation. As for pronouns, he has never really bothered to think that through and only uses whatever suits his outfit. By and large, regardless of this, he has always had his nieces and nephews refer to him as Uncle. This is not a gender based decision. This is a simplification and a lazy preference of not bothering to make up a different term. No, uncle works best since he goes by he more often than the other terms. Besides, what does it matter to him? It does not. He never gave a rat's backside what people thought of him or what they call him. Nobody could have hurt him more than his own father had growing up, save for his jerk older brother, but that honestly was more of a sibling rivalry thing which was only active when their father was home. Ieyasu was not so bad, after all. The jackass may have been an a**, but he wasn't a bad brother, just hard on him and significantly older. His nephews by him weren't exactly known for being cream puffs either. This was normal for that era. He did not expect them to be like he was. He was the oddity. Nor did he care. After his father had found out what he was during a mission, he tried to raise him as a daughter, refusing to acknowledge his situation and things were never the same again. No, Shion Hi was simply not a kind person. Those were simply not kind times, he decided. He is ripped out of his introspection when Ikasu calls for a few songs in his play list to be added to the music queue. "You'vegotit,kid!" he calls out and adds to the list. Deciding to put up a true multigenre list, he opens up the database of music and queues the top ten of every genre. "Alright,let'sgetdownandfunky!!" he calls out and sets back to working on the task at hand. Ikasu has already taken the chemical analysis away from him and Sora is working earth studies while Sawako is dealing with figuring out the stomach contents and likely the genetics in the various samples. "Alright,fromthesecuritysensors,nosignsofactivatedreleasesofanysort.Nosignofkidoueitheraccordingtothesensors.NothingasfarasthatgoesintheSeireiteilastnight.Ifsomebodycannarrowdownthelocation,Icangiveabetterreviewsothatwecansendittotheappropriatedivision.Iwillmakesuretosendareporttoboththethirdandsixthdivisions.LastthingIwantistobeharassedbyeitheroneforbeingleftout.Eventhoughreallyitshouldchanneltothirdfirstthensixth." He shrugs with a grin and honestly does not care who gets the information just so long as he gets the fun of rooting around in the systems. "OOOHFABRIC!DIBS~!"
S A W A K O ☤ H A G I W A R A Sawako took her time analyzing the muck, not really paying attention to the music. When she got caught up in her work, she often tuned her surroundings out. At this moment, her work was the only thing that mattered. Amongst the food the woman consumed, Sawako would isolate two separate traces of foreign DNA. Why would this be in her stomach? The scientist had to wonder; it was so strange and at the same time, intriguing. Further analysis would reveal the substances; one being blood and the other being "personal DNA". Pulling up a profile on both of the contributors, she would attach the names to the respective owners. Compiling her findings with the others, this should have been enough for the authorities to find their culprit. "Good job, everyone! I think that takes care of that" Sawako sighed, turning to look at the others. She could not help but smile specifically at Tsubaki, who she was even more enamored with than before. Though her smile waned as she was taken by surprise- a pair of pale white hands appearing from behind the child's back and reaching for her throat. The woman gasped, but in the blink of an eye, the hands were gone and no one was any the wiser. Looking around, it didn't seem as if anyone else saw what she did either. Was she hallucinating now? She was suddenly feeling ill; taking a moment to lean against a nearby counter. "Aha...must be a little dehydrated. Remember to always drink water, Tsubaki-chan!" Sawako laughed off any concern her actions may have caused.
After cleaning his station and while waiting for another task Sora carefully documents all the tests he had done and the results of those tests. He also includes the notes he had made while working so that no one could claim that he had doctored the results. He had been accused of that in the past while on a mission a several years ago, it was not something he would forget. Ever. Once the report is finished he sets it where it could easily be grabbed. He is then brought more the samples that Tsubaki had been working with "Thank you Tsubaki-chan." He says and then begins to work on these samples. Following the same steps as before. After a moment he notices that the girl is still beside him watching. He grins at her as she comments on the fact that you can learn a lot from dirt. "Yes you can learn where it is from, how old it is, what it is made of, and many other things." He then continues his work explaining everything he did as he did it. And wonders how long till she loses interest and goes over to one of the others. "Hmm this peace of jadeite used to be part of someone's necklace." He says studying the rock as he cleans it up. "Looking at how badly tarnished the broken chain it seems like it has been laying on the ground for quite some time not a couple of hours. I doubt a noble would walk around with something that looked this bad. Maybe it was unburied in the struggle?" He considers his options then mentally chides himself it was evidence. Besides it could be a family heirloom of the victim or the attacker. After that thought he runs another battery of tests hoping to find some kind of DNA. Preferably the attackers. It does not take him long to finish up this batch and compile a report. He then hers the Vice captain mention drinking water and grabs snacks and water for everyone. Though he is not sure why he feels concern for his vice captain. He shrugs it off thinking maybe something she had was not agreeing with her.
Tsubaki brightly responds to Sawako's advice to drink water with a cheerful, "Yes, Mama!" She has been listening to them talk the entire time and quickly picked up on the subtle discussion concerning her unorthodox conception and birth. She also managed to access the file in the computer part of her brain that says the details of who was involved in her project. "Wow, Uncle Sora! That's cool!" she exclaims and then happily accepts the snack, but only pauses when Ikasu reminds her to use her manners. "Right! Thank you! Itadakimasu!"
"Good girl, Tsubaki-chan," Ikasu gently pats her head and accepts a snack, "Thank you! Itadakimasu!" he says right before taking a bite. How long has it been since he has last eaten? He fights the urge to devour it in a piggish fashion. His polite upper class upbringing is struggling against his desire to stuff the entire dango in his mouth. He allows a rarely seen smile on his face, something that the rest of Twelfth Division rarely sees from him. He is so used to being serious on the job that he rarely smiles here. "That was quite good, thank you again." He sets about tidying up his section of the lab and prints up a copy of his report for the file. "There we go."
Hax by contrast grins broadly and often. "Oooooh~!TREATS!Itadakimasu!" He by contrast stuffs the entire mochi in his mouth. "MMM~!"he proclaims with yum sounds. At his age, he has decided that he can behave however he damn well pleases. He has been documenting everything on record. "Myrequestforthesecurityvideoofthegraveyardhasbeenmetwithasolid'no,itisalreadyunderInternalAffairsreview.'Finebyme.Onelesstask.Thefabricanalysisiswhatyoumightexpect,itdefinitelycamefromashinigamiuniformanditdoesnotmatchtheuniformofourpoorvictim.Theculpritwillhavedamagedclothingifhehasnotalreadydiscardedit.Ihavealreadysentmyreporttotheprinterandtothee-file." He hops up out of his chair and does a mighty stretch and scoops up Tsubaki to give her the biggest hug. "Youaresodangcute,child!"

S A W A K O ☤ H A G I W A R A Her excuse for her behavior seemed to work as no one seemed to question it. In fact, Tsubaki believed her wholeheartedly and even called her "mama" all of a sudden. Sawako was taken aback, not expecting this development. While it was true she was responsible for her creation and would fit that role for the child in a sense. Being referred to as such was...sweet and endearing. The woman felt her heart skip a beat when she heard it and couldn't stop smiling at the girl. Caressing her on the cheek, Sawako would tell her "You're such a sweet girl, Tsubaki-chan." As Sora passed snacks and drinks around the lab, following her remark, she looked around at the others. Nothing but smiling faces all around; genuine happiness coming from her fellow scientists. "Thank you, Sora" Sawako thanked him, taking her drink and snack. She took a sip of her water as she stared off into space. It seemed her mind was elsewhere with her thoughts to herself. She wouldn't space out for long before looking to Ikasu with a grin. "Ah, I just remembered! Ikasu-kun, can I leave you with clean up, there's something I need to attend to!" Though, the vice captain wasn't giving him much of an option as she was already heading off to address that something. Sawako couldn't explain it, but there was an odd phenomenon going on with her. Before she would go, she would bid the group farewell with a smile and wave to them. "Take care, everyone! Tsubaki, be a good girl! And again, great work everyone!" With a turn on her heel, the woman was off to figure out this "something".
