LC::yesod2_introYesod — Episode 2SYSTEM: Play BGM: 'Tilarids - The 6th Light'SYSTEM:SHOW character: Yesod (id: 'yesod') at 'left', direction: 'right'SYSTEM: Set BACKGROUND: 'yesodBK', effect: 'none'Yesod(Id: 'yesod')You’ve exceeded my expectations, despite your first impression.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Allow me to explain your next—SYSTEM:SHOW character: Hod (id: 'hod') at 'right', direction: 'left'Hod(Id: 'hod')Yesod! I just heard that your team had a ton of casualties!Yesod(Id: 'yesod')How many times has it been now?Hod(Id: 'hod')Shouldn’t you… be at your team’s side? It looked super depressing over there.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Accidents happen. I want them to understand that it’s not a big fuss. Dwelling on it only encourages them to cry more, and it will eventually tire them out.Hod(Id: 'hod')But… people have died. Maybe you should say something, like, at least some half-hearted commemorative speech to cheer the employees up…? I mean, we should lead our departments and all...Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Perhaps your aim is different from mine, then. I see no point in being sentimental. Caring too much about the respect of employees or the little complaints they make will steer you away from what’s truly important.Hod(Id: 'hod')Well, I’m just saying… I guess there’s no right answer, is there? We’re both busy, so I’ll see you later!SYSTEM:HIDE character: Hod (id: 'hod'), position: 'right'Yesod(Id: 'yesod')What do you think, manager? Should I go comfort them for the sake of the department’s morale?Yes, you should.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')I’m honestly surprised to hear that from you.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Do you think it’s realistic for you to show up in every department every single time an accident occurs?Yesod(Id: 'yesod')You, the man who spends the whole day incessantly watching employees die through that shiny monitor of yours?Yesod(Id: 'yesod')I take it that you are only saying this because you’re inexperienced and are still clinging onto the vague sense of goodwill, manager.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Such shallow sympathy does no good in the corporation, so I urge you to be rid of it.No, it’s not a necessity.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')A gesture of “goodwill” without sincerity is nothing more than an act of diplomacy, after all.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')We're not the ones whose lives are on the line.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')We don’t live with the risk of every moment possibly being the last.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')Nor are we always so close to death’s touch as to not have any attachment to life or worldly values.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')I disagree with the way Hod copes with it. She just seeks to comfort her own mind and turns a blind eye to reality.Yesod(Id: 'yesod')It’d be much more helpful to work hard to find ways to minimize casualties in the future.
