HodEpisode 1 SYSTEM: Set BACKGROUND: 'hodBK', effect: 'none' SYSTEM: Play BGM: 'Town_-_Alone_In_A_Crowd' SYSTEM: SHOW character: Hod (id: 'hod') at 'center' Hod (Id: 'hod') Oh, umm… Hi… Hod (Id: 'hod') ..... Hod (Id: 'hod') You’re not angry, are you...? Hod (Id: 'hod') I’m Hod. I’m in charge of the Training Team. Hod (Id: 'hod') We’re… um… what we do is... You know accidents happen in the company. Hod (Id: 'hod') But Lady Angela said that about half of those accidents could be easily prevented if the employees showed… more initiative. Hod (Id: 'hod') So the Training Team provides employees with a work manual and sufficient training. You know, to try and reduce the number of accidents. We also help employees that are transferring to different departments in adapting to their new workplace… Hod (Id: 'hod') Umm, I’m not very skillful in many areas, but I’ll try not to be a hindrance, at least...! Hod (Id: 'hod') In fact, I’ve been testing out a new employee program these days… Hod (Id: 'hod') I don’t know if it will work out, but… umm... Hod (Id: 'hod') Oh, you want to know more about the program? Hod (Id: 'hod') As you know, the company is… quite demanding. Even though we run consistent check-ups, many of our employees regularly lose their sanity… Hod (Id: 'hod') I know exactly what it’s like. Hod (Id: 'hod') I mean, I don’t directly interact with the Abnormalities, but I know what it feels like to lose yourself... Hod (Id: 'hod') I’m not sure if employees will like my new program, or if it will prove to be helpful... I can only hope… SYSTEM: Play SOUND: 'knockknock_first' ??? (Id: 'no') (You and Hod hear a knock at the door) Tiffany (Id: 'tiffany') It’s all thanks to you, Miss Hod. I feel so much better after talking to you as you suggested. I’m finally free from all those horrible thoughts that used to haunt me every morning. Hod (Id: 'hod') No, no, it was your courage to bare your heart to me that really solved the problem. I just showed you where to start. Tiffany (Id: 'tiffany') I mean it. I’d have probably hung myself by now if it wasn’t for you. Tiffany (Id: 'tiffany') Anyway, Miss Hod, you really did save my life. I’m so fortunate to have you as my Sephirah. Tiffany (Id: 'tiffany') You’re a really, really good person. Hod (Id: 'hod') ….! Thank you, Tiffany! I’m so glad to see you getting better. I heard you’ll be transferring to a different team soon, I hope you do well there. Please make sure to not forget the conversations we had. Tiffany (Id: 'tiffany') Of course, miss. I won’t. Hod (Id: 'hod') You see that, manager? My program’s really working! Hod (Id: 'hod') I want to be as helpful a person I can be here. Hod (Id: 'hod') Because, the harder I try, the more lives I can save...
