It’s rare to see such a lively atmosphere; it’s even getting me excited.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')“Lively” isn’t really the right word. It’s more like, excited over a trivial thing. All because of a new manager. That’s nothing special to us.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Be more understanding, Tiphereth. This is Lobotomy Corporation. News is rare other than the usual word of someone’s death. The employees need something to talk about.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')Well, if it makes them more efficient at work for even a short time, then yes, I’ll be understanding. What I can’t get is why they’re so noisy about it all.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Weren’t you excited the first time a new manager came in as well?Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')Well—yes! Because it was the very first time!Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')It’s still worth the excitement, even if it’s not the first time to happen.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Do you remember? Back then, when we made a bet over whether the manager could save an employee who was at 95% mental corruption.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')Of course I remember. I bet that he couldn’t, and you placed your bet on them being saved.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Yeah, though the employee died, unfortunately.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')I was so happy with my victory, I insisted on keeping up our bets, even though the result always ended up the same.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Right, but then you stopped making the bets at one point.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')Well, because you always lost. Winning wasn’t fun anymore.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')I never bet without thinking it through, though. I always placed my hope in him, thinking: “Maybe this time”.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_a')It’s a shame that you never got to win once.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Well, maybe if we had infinite time, I guess a day would come when my hopes could come true.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')What do you think, manager?I could hedge on it happening.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')I agree with you, manager.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Perhaps the bet could have turned out differently if we’d met sooner.Don’t bet on a pipe dream.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Even if you say so, I still want them to live.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')I’ve always had faith in you, and I still trust you to save them one day.
