"Okay," she said, straightening her skirt and taking a breath. "Let's get this paperwork done."
Andrey nodded, pushing open the glass door. "And I want to check on Marcus's condition at the medical wing."

"Well, well. The D-rank duo returns." She smiled, then noticed Lisa's outfit and raised an eyebrow approvingly. "Looking sharp today, both of you. What brings you in?"
Andrey stepped forward, pulling out his hero ID. "We need to file compensation claims for the recent gate incident, and request a rank promotion review."
