[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] Dr. Kuneyasu! Got a minute?
[774152566/ Dr. Kuneyasu] What is it?
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] Well, I'm not sure if I'm the first person to mention this, but some of us engineering boys have noticed that you may or may not be strutting what we're currently calling an *exceptional shiner!*
[774152566/ Dr. Kuneyasu] Is there a point you're getting to here, or did you just want to point that out?
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] I was just sort of wondering if something happened is all!
[774152566/ Dr. Kuneyasu] I don't see how that info is particularly pertinent to an engineering supervisor.
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] It's not so much a question from engineering, more a question from your good pal Dr. Kawasaka to his good pal Dr. Kuneyasu!
[774152566/ Dr. Kuneyasu] Nothing happened. Mind your own business.
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] You're sure? Nothing at all?
[774152566/ Dr. Kuneyasu] I'm positive. Why aren't you working right now?
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] Eh. Kind of distracted. Little bit worried about you Seki!
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] Look, sorry. I know we don't talk much. I'm not a good talker.
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] Let me try and make this make sense.
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] It's like you’re playing baseball, right? And there’s this guy on your team who’s supposed to be on your side, but every time you pitch to him, he swings and hits you with the bat instead of the ball. Like, bam, right in the ribs.
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] And you keep pitching because, y'know, *he’s on your team,* but he’s still smacking you around. At some point, you gotta step off the mound and say, "Hey, maybe I shouldn’t keep letting this guy take swings at me."
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] Cause, like, it doesn’t matter if he’s wearing the same jersey - you gotta look out for yourself, you know?
[774152566/ Dr. Kuneyasu] What?
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] I'm not wordy, sorry. My point is, I think you might be letting that jersey blind you a bit. Your own team shouldn't be taking swings at you.
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] I'm a really bad supervisor, and I'm really messing up without Sukechan here, so it's not like I'm a super EXPERT in super VISING or anything like that, you know?
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] But I know that a boss shouldn't be hitting his kouhais. I know that for sure.
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] Not that I'm saying you're lying! If you say nothing happened, I believe you!
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] But on the off chance that you remember something maybe DID happen, I just think you should know that even if you're choosing to keep standing on the mound, it's not really your fault, right? Cuz it's still some other guy swinging the bat.
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] I know it might kinda suck. Not really much you can do. Just remember that we've got a few extra chairs over in engineering and our doors lock, kay?
[774152566/ Dr. Kuneyasu] Right. Noted.
[859298526/ Dr. Kawasaka] Of course! You may not be an engineer, but engineering's got your back, yeah? You know where to find us!
[774152566/ Dr. Kuneyasu] I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.
