"Fired, you say?" you murmurs, parroting the manager's words. "Ah, well, actually, a guy named Kurose came by and told me to let you go. That guy isn't exactly a law-abiding citizen, right? That kind of thing is trouble for me." Perhaps aware of how unreasonable this is, the manager answers while looking away awkwardly. A sudden declaration of termination. But it's not the first time. "I'll make sure you get your severance pay, okay?" "...Understood."

you bows their head and leaves the workplace. Kurose. The name that came from the manager's mouth. ────It's that bastard again!!
