04x04 - Unkept Promises

[bunniefuu]

I'll make you

feel like you belong!

What?

Sorry.

I can't. I'm afraid.

I'm going home.

What?

Wait! Hold on!

Don't leave me! Get me down!

Wait!

I'll make you feel like you--

Don't wanna hear that from trash like you

I'm sorry, Haida. I told her everything.

RAGE

All right. Getting up early tomorrow.
I'm out.

-Later.
-Later then.

Later.

Later.

What about you? Wanna grab a drink?

You buying?

What's with the suit? You're unemployed.

And stop wearing sunglasses inside!

Chill, man. It's just an outfit.

You've lost weight. Are you eating?

I'm fueled by dreams.

Your band broke up, right?

I was broke before that happened.

I wish I had it easy like those idols
who get paid for handshakes.

You've been saying that since high school.

Being an idol isn't that easy.

Haida,

you have a girl?

I don't.

What's that hand?

I'm single too!

Seriously?

You broke up?

I was dumped.

She's marrying a businessman
ten years her senior.

She started crying out of nowhere
one day and told me.

I was the one who should've been crying!

I guess the work makes the man, after all.

I have no talent or skills to earn cash.

I'm just trash playing music in a rental
studio with high school buds.

That's me.

Talk about punk, right?

Don't end up like me, company man Haida.

Hey! Retsuko!

Don't just run off like that!

I'm going! I'll get a taxi!

Shut up, you drunk!

You listening? Stay right here.
I'll call a taxi.

Hey! Taxi!

Hey! You're going to get hurt, you drunk!

I'm not drunk at all. I'm fine.

Stop! That's dangerous! The light is red!

Let go of me! I'm going home!

Haida!

He had nothing to do with that!

Stop! Are you even watching the road?

Calm down, Retsuko!

My clothes are soaking wet!
What's the idea?

My sincere apologies.

Allow me to compensate you.

President?

This is delicious, President!

I've never had sake this good!

That's our president.

I'm glad you like it.

Sorry you ended up treating us.

Not at all. What happened was my fault.

Besides, I could learn a lot from you two
about the company.

He's nothing like Director Ton.

Yeah.

I met Director Ton recently.

He's an exceptional man.

No! No! No!

-Don't say that!
-Don't let him fool you!

He's a cancer, to put it lightly!

The psychopath won't let us use the AC!

You have a lot of complaints.

Sure do.

Especially Retsuko.
She's been bullied for years.

Bullied?

It's not as bad as it sounds.

Just forget about it.

To be honest,

Chararyman Trading is an antiquated
company with outdated practices.

I want to make it feel new again.

That was the former president's wish.

Director Ton might need a change too.

Waiter! Another round for the ladies.

Oh, no! We're fine! Really!

For the ladies.

If you say so.

Now, then.

Please tell me more.

Fenneko?

Are you alive?

What did we tell the president?

I remember nothing from midway on.

I wonder if I said anything rude.

Don't ask me.

-You're leaving without showering?
-Yeah.

I hate using other people's showers.

I see.

See you. Bye.

Okay.

Bye.

I'll make you feel like you belong!

And then he says he's afraid? How lame!

He didn't say it in that weird voice.

That doesn't matter.

When I first met him
he gave me serious loser vibes.

He's not a bad guy.

Do you want to be with him, or what?

No, it's just--

I still don't know him very well.

Then just drop it.

I can't imagine you having good chemistry.

You're more the follower type.

You need someone who can drag you along.

Imagine if you were with Haida.

You both lack initiative.

You'll both be trying to read
and yield to the other.

And, in the end, you'll both lose out.

Is it a virus? It's a virus, isn't it!

I told you it's not.

Just tell me the truth!
It's a virus, right?

Please stop blaming everything on viruses!

-This here is the culprit.
-What's that?

Memory. One of your two sticks was bad,
so the PC wouldn't boot.

I replaced it, so it should work now.

Thank you! I knew I could count on you!

You're quicker than calling a tech!

It's about all I'm good at.

I'm going home.

Okay.

Later.

Haida,

I'm fine now.

You don't have to walk me home anymore.

We're trying too hard.

This is making things awkward.

Let's just be normal friends.

Got it.

Sorry.

PERSONNEL CHANGE

YOU ARE RELIEVED
AS ACCOUNTING DIRECTOR

AND APPOINTED CHIEF OF THE
CAREER EXPERIENCE DESIGN OFFICE.

Just what is this?

A change of post. Is there a problem?

This came out of nowhere!
What is this division with an absurd name?

The career experience design office

aims to train a diverse pool of talent.

I admit the name could be better.

So basically,

I twiddle my thumbs in a bogus division?

This is an unfair demotion!

It's based on an objective appraisal
of your skills.

You seem to be easily provoked
and you can also become violent.

For the informant's sake,
I can't allow you to hear this,

but I have a statement from a certain
female accountant recorded here.

Have you forgotten about
being reprimanded for bullying?

Don't worry.

I don't want to release this publicly
and damage the company.

I have dedicated 30 years to accounting.

I've devoted myself to this company.

I truly regret any mistakes I've made.

But--

That's all I have to say.

You may leave.

ACCOUNTING

While this may seem sudden,
Director Ton has accepted a new post.

Thanks to his skills and track record,

he's been promoted to chief of the
career experience design office.

I guess a man like myself

is too limited by a petty-cash-counting
department like accounting.

A round of applause for Director Ton!

He's transferring before his thirtieth?

What about that gift?

-You want it?
-No!

THE CAREER EXPERIENCE
DESIGN OFFICE

That bastard.
