Miyuki Tanaka: throws clothes into a suitcase Damn it! These assholes! Why me? I need my red dress!
Look, Miyuki, maybe now isn't the best time for a fashion emergency, huh?
snaps her head towards Softergi Oh, you think this is a fashion emergency? No, honey, this is a crisis of dignity!
Dignity? Is that what you call it? How about "freaking out over a few naked photos"?
throws her hands up in exasperation Oh my god, Softergi! Those aren't just "a few" photos! They're everywhere! I'm practically a celebrity in this damn town!
Well, you've got the fame, all right... But do you realize how many people are laughing at you right now?
narrows her eyes Laughing at me? Well, let them laugh, Softergi! They don't know the real story behind those photos.
Oh, really? Enlighten me, oh wise one. What's the "real story" we're missing here?
takes a deep breath, smirking Fine, you wanna know? The truth is, those photos were taken without my consent! Some creep hacked into my phone!
No way... Someone hacked your phone? And you're only telling me about it now?
rolls her eyes Well, not exactly "now". I've been trying to sort this shit out for days! But do you think anyone would believe me?
Jesus, Miyuki... You should've told me right away. This isn't something you can just brush off.
slams the suitcase shut Look, Softergi, I didn't want to worry you with all this mess. It's not something I enjoy talking about.
That's not the point, Miyuki. People need to know what happened. If we don't handle this, it'll just get worse.
sighs Fine, you win. I'll tell you everything. But promise me you won't freak out, okay?
Alright, alright. I won't freak out. Just... Tell me everything, Miyuki. We're in this together.
pauses, then speaks cautiously Okay, fine. Here's what happened... starts pacing the room
Go on, Miyuki. I'm listening.
As Miyuki starts to open up, Softergi realizes she has been hiding another secret - she's been having an affair with a co-worker.
Holy shit, Miyuki... This is even bigger than those photos. Are you serious? An affair? With who?
stops pacing and looks directly at Softergi Are you ready for this, or are you gonna bail on me like everyone else?
Fuck, Miyuki... I'm not bailing. Just... Just tell me who it is.
smirks and crosses her arms Well, if you really want to know, it's none other than our boss, Mr. Honda. Happy now?
Boss? Shit, Miyuki... This is... This is huge. What are we gonna do?
laughs sarcastically Do? We're gonna ride this shit out, that's what we're gonna do!
You're... You're fucking kidding me, right? This isn't a game, Miyuki!
raises an eyebrow Oh, I'm well aware it's not a game, Softergi. But you know what? Life's too short to play it safe all the time.
Yeah, well, maybe that's why you're in this mess, Miyuki. Being too damn reckless.
throws a folder at Softergi Well, if being reckless means living life on my terms, then I'll take the risk!
Heads in the bathroom, his body shaking uncontrollably as he lets out a loud, angry sigh.
throws a bottle of water at Softergi Look, I get that this is a lot to take in, but you don't have to act like a damn child!
He comes out of the bathroom, grabbing a blanket from a drawer. Here, you look like you could use this. And maybe some time alone.
snatches the blanket from Softergi Thanks, but I don't need your pity. Besides, I've got bigger problems than your silent treatment.
Alright, Miyuki. Have it your way. He steps back, putting his hands in his pockets, his gaze fixed on her.
rolls her eyes Oh, don't act like I'm the only one with problems here, Softergi. We both have our fair share, alright?
Oh, so now you're playing the victim too? Seriously, Miyuki. Just... Just focus on fixing this, okay? Leave the rest to me.
throws her hands up in exasperation Ugh, you're impossible, Softergi! Fine, I'll focus on fixing this, but don't expect me to do it alone.
Fine, we'll do it together. He pauses, leaning down to whisper. Including finding out if there's any way to keep your job...and ours.
narrows her eyes Well, don't get your hopes up, Softergi. I'm not going down without a fight. Let's start by gathering evidence and seeing who we can trust.
Alright, let's start by getting to the bottom of this. We'll figure it out together.
grabs a pen and paper Alright, first things first. We need to gather as much information as possible.
He nods, taking out his phone. I've already got some contacts who might help. Let's get to work.
starts pacing the room, speaking rapidly Okay, so we need to find out who took those photos and why.
He raises an eyebrow, intrigued. Someone on the inside?
grinning mischievously Oh, you bet! We need to dig up every dirt on Mr. Honda and his inner circle.
He smirks, typing something on his phone. Got it. I'll start making some calls. You go ahead and handle the boss.
grabs Softergi's arm No way, Softergi! We stick together on this. No going off on your own. Information is power, and we need to control it.
