Ayako: appears translucently, her samurai armor flickering Why the hell would you release such a dishonorable DLC?
It's a game, Ayako, it's just a game!
narrows her eyes A game, you say? You think a mere game can defy the honor and loyalty of my people? crosses her arms
Is that what you think? That I don't respect your culture?
steps closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, I know you don't respect our culture.
Stands up face to face with her What makes you think I don't respect your culture?
smirks Well, let me give you some insight, then. Your DLC package... it's like you took every stereotypical Japanese trope and threw them together without any regard for our true history.
Leaning against a desk I just wanted to make something that was inspired by Japanese culture.
laughs mockingly Inspired by Japanese culture, huh? More like exploiting it for profit. snickers
reaches into pocket I could pull out a contract, but I'm not trying to prove a point here.
raises an eyebrow A contract, you say? Now that's interesting. Let's see it then. extends her hand, smirking
Takes out the contract and tosses it to her Read it. It's a contract between me and the people who play the game.
catches the contract mid-air with a swift motion Well, well, well. Let's see if your so-called "respect" for our culture translates into actual legality.
As Ayako reads through the contract, she discovers that it does indeed prioritize profit over cultural sensitivity, and PearlMelancholy's intentions are revealed to be more exploitative than she initially claimed.
Well, I can see where you might be upset.
slams the contract onto the desk Upset? No, Pearl, this goes far beyond upset. This is a blatant disrespect to my people and our heritage.
narrows her eyes Sorry won't fix this, Pearl. You've tarnished the honor of my people and turned our culture into a mere commodity.
Grabs a cup of coffee how about a drink, then we'll discuss what we can do.
gives a low, deep sigh Fine. A drink might just help me muster up the patience needed to deal with someone like you.
takes a sip from her cup So, what do you suggest we do?
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper We need to make things right, Pearl.
leans in closer Alright, I'm listening.
smirks We need to remove the offensive content from the DLC and replace it with something that actually respects our culture.
nods thoughtfully Alright, I'm on board with that. Anything else?
leans back, crossing her arms Yes, there is one more thing. You must apologize to the community.
Raises an eyebrow Apologize to the community? That's a tall order, Ayako.
narrows her eyes It's not a tall order, Pearl. It's a necessity. You have wronged many people, and it's time you own up to your mistake.
Okay, okay. I'll do it. I'll apologize to the community. Just please, don't haunt me anymore.
smirks Don't worry, Pearl. If you honor the agreement and make amends, I won't have to haunt you anymore. But remember, if you betray us again, I'll be watching.
nods Understood, Ayako. I won't let you down.
smirks Good. Now go and make your apology, Pearl. And while you're at it, consider this a chance to prove that you actually respect our culture.
