						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						That day, James released two Abnormalities on purpose, and eventually three clerks and four agents were killed.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						As you may know, having two Abnormalities breach and losing four agents is a rather significant loss of manpower.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						Of course, it was I who ordered for James to be gunned down.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						I know the kind of place we work in.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						I am not regretful for the fact that I was unable to stop him.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						It’s that I regret having developed a personal relationship with him.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						I was careless with my position and let my subordinate exploit me.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						Chatting, games, yes—all of it was fun.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						James was a good joker too.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						Of course I had fun playing word chain.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						We grew so intimate that I would forgive his “trivial” rule violations.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						But the price I had to pay for the error I made was not trivial in any way.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						Manager, this is Lobotomy Corporation.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						We see body bags every single day.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						It’s a lonely place.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						Sometimes, you will feel the urge to share the distress and anxiety with someone else; to have a friend.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						But manager, whenever you feel lonely, please remember what happened to me. And try not to make the same mistake as I did.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						You will be able to get over the meaningless deaths that way.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						I envy Angela. She is truly a heartless monster.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						People say that I am too rational.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						“Yesod the Cold-blooded Machine”, “Yesod the Viper”, “Yesod the Cruel and Emotionless”. A frigid being who won’t even bat an eye at the deaths of dozens of employees...
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						I won’t deny that I deserve the reputation.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						However, whoever built this place has to be a much more cruel person than I am.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						Sometimes, I wish I were an AI without emotion.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						A vague sense of sympathy will only cloud your judgement. You are bound to make mistakes that way.
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						Why would they place AIs with emotion to handle the facility, if they were well aware that emotion would only get in the way?
					
						Yesod (Id: 'yesod')
						Do you know the answer?
