Why this phrase
Late October in Tokyo, after a 30°C day, hotel units are still set to cool while mornings drop into the low teens. Kōfuku is the guest mashing the snowflake. Hana is the friend in the room, not the clerk. She gives him the line for the front desk: 暖房にしてください. It switches the mode to heat. It is not a request to heat food, and it is not the older line that only asks to turn the air con on.
