"Doctor, are you alright?" Amiya's rabbit ears twitched while her eyes looked at the Doctor with a worried expression. From barely under his visor, she saw lines and creases reminiscent of sleep deprivation and sanity loss.

"...No, I'm not," the Doctor stared down at the paperwork that all had to be reprinted because of a certain white haired freak with rumors running amok about him. "I need ramen," in his deprived state of health, only one food came to mind.

"Doctor..." Amiya winced when she saw him move like a robot, or rather, a ghoul that had been rotting for a month.

The Doctor moved to a cabinet at the right side of his office, before rummaging through what sounded like plastic objects. Once he had reached all the way through, he grabbed what he needed and retracted his hand.

"Here it is..." A lethargic voice dripped the saliva of a jaded old man, holding an object up into the air like it was the Holy Grail itself. "It's... it's so perfect...!" The Doctor's delirium reached its peak when it was fully presented in front of his eyes.

"I'll... get the water boiling, Doctor," Amiya closed her eyes and gave him the best smile that could be given in a situation like this. "Please, take care of your health more, especially with... what you eat," the Cautus girl moved to grab an electric kettle.

Taking a glance at the Doctor who walked slowly back to his seat, Amiya gripped the cable of a kettle, stretching out while her other hand held onto the actual object. Finding a cord to plug it in, she moved and placed it on the Doctor's desk, before grabbing a water bottle and opening it.

With the sound of the bottle's seal being broken, Amiya poured all of the water into the kettle and set it to the highest temperature it could be. "Alright, Doctor, it should be ready to pour in about 2 minutes!" Clasping her hands together, she gave him a reassuring look.

"Gojo... why does he have to be so handsome..." The Doctor muttered to himself while in a daze, "...yet so stupid." Seeing him fight on the battlefield and seeing him be in constant control of the situation with his powers made Gojo Satoru a figure one could aspire to be.

It was too bad that it didn't apply to his daily life. In fact, the man was the most goofy and nefarious person one could have the displeasure of ever receiving the help of.

Notes for him in the Doctor's personal record? Do not ask him for help in daily activities such as paperwork. The white haired man would definitely screw anybody over if he found it even the least bit boring.

Now, on the battlefield though? Just let him do whatever he wanted, the enemy would most likely be ripped apart from the atomic level.

"Doctor, you've been talking a lot about Mr. Gojo recently," Amiya gave him a perplexed look, having heard his name for the hundredth time this week. "Are you sure you're not-"

"Agh, I'm sure Amiya," the Doctor moved back up from his slouched position on his chair and put his hand on the desk, lifting it up a few times and putting it down in an attempt to find his pen. "Where's my pen?"

"Right here," Amiya already found it within the corner of her sight, tippy toeing and reaching for it at the edge of the table. Her fingers interlocked together and grabbed it, before handing it to the Doctor.

"Thank you..." the Doctor turned his gaze to the kettle that had started steaming, but hadn't been hot enough to activate its automatic stop feature. He reached his hand to receive the pen.

"Any time, Doctor," Amiya felt the item leave her hand, the light weight of the object disappearing once he had grabbed it. The rabbit girl spoke up once more after the action was done, "back onto the topic of Gojo, have you heard from the recent news?"
