he didn’t know what was worse. getting chewed out by your boss in public, getting chewed out by your boss in japanese, or, getting chewed out by your boss who’s younger and shorter than you in japanese, publicly, and be feeling a very large sense of fear. but, such was ellis lee’s life. he had such a gleeful excitement upon applying for michigaming, so many years ago. he was fresh out of college and just wanted to be a game developer. a computer programmer. hell, he just wanted to say he worked for michigaming! he didn’t plan on being one of the most managerially competent people there and, therefore, promoted to being a manager. he didn’t really want to work directly under the fearsome michishige miyuu herself. but, his luck in life was truly never...that good. it was good, but it also wasn’t. a bittersweet luck, he could call it.
❛ do better! ❜ were the words that miyuu had left him with, prompting the still silent man to give a small nod as he watched her depart into her limo. he was left in the park she’d previously stood in with him and simply sighed -- partly in relief -- when the vehicle drove off. well, that went great. he had to say, it had been a long time since his work was less than satisfactory and it hurt his pride a little. okay, a lot. the man picked the nearest bench to sit in and just leaned down, holding his head in his hands as he thought over what to do next...and, if he was going to a have a job in the next few days.
