LC::hod2_introHod — Episode 2SYSTEM: Set BACKGROUND: 'hodBK', effect: 'none'SYSTEM:SHOW character: Hod (id: 'hod') at 'right'SYSTEM: Play BGM: 'Tilarids - The 6th Light'Hod(Id: 'hod')Thank you so much for doing that favor for me, manager!Hod(Id: 'hod')I’ve been feeling really confident lately!SYSTEM:SHOW character: Angela (id: 'angela') at 'left', direction: 'right'Angela(Id: 'angela')Hod, I hear you have a new distraction.Hod(Id: 'hod')Ah, Lady Angela! Are you talking about my counseling program? Thank you!Angela(Id: 'angela')Yes, shut it down immediately.Hod(Id: 'hod')But, why? My program has been helping the employees…Angela(Id: 'angela')Don’t delude yourself, Hod. You don’t sincerely believe that counseling can be of any help in this place, do you?Hod(Id: 'hod')But… But I want to continue it... As long as there’s an employee who needs me… What about Tiffany? She… she said my program helped her cope with her stress…Angela(Id: 'angela')Tiffany? Tiffany Brown, who recently transferred to the Safety Team? She was suffering from bipolar disorder and an addiction to Enkephalin. We expunged her records this morning.Hod(Id: 'hod')She… what?Angela(Id: 'angela')She has terminated her contract with the company in a completely permanent fashion. Her mental corruption was at peaks higher than 90% when she committed suicide.Angela(Id: 'angela')I bet she said something like this whenever she came to you:Angela(Id: 'angela')“Miss Hod, you’re helping me so much! But I think I’ll need a bit of Enkephalin on top of your counseling to ease my melancholy! It’s just a little extra, of course...”Angela(Id: 'angela')You prescribed highly addictive substances as if you were handing out candy to children.Hod(Id: 'hod')....Angela(Id: 'angela')And what about Netzach? You gave him the substance as well.Angela(Id: 'angela')I temporarily gave you access to Enkephalin because I determined you could use it for your “counseling program” to reduce the stress level of the employees, and yet you’ve only been creating drug addicts.Hod(Id: 'hod')Netzach… He told me that he wanted to introduce the program to his team…Angela(Id: 'angela')And you fell for it? You should have noticed that he was lying as soon as you saw his hazy eyes.Hod(Id: 'hod')....Angela(Id: 'angela')Hod, your naive compassion is only driving things to become worse around here. Your program is hereby terminated.Angela(Id: 'angela')And as I have told you and the other Sephirot countless times: there is nothing as redundant and pointless as building a personal acquaintance with the employees here. Especially for a Sephirah like you.Angela(Id: 'angela')The employees will do anything to coax whatever they desire out of you. They have nothing left to lose; they won’t even feel any guilt about it.
