you went too far
"you went too far" – email from Cyberpunk 2077. You crossed the line today. Since when do I need permission to go into your office?! Security contacted you, so don't bullshit me with "procedures" – it was your call!

RE: you went too far
Just cool down and stop throwing a fit or you'll get us both in trouble.
I have to keep up SOME semblance of professionalism, which you've clearly never had to deal with.
It cost me an arm and a leg, but I managed to elbow my way into a better position. Don't think I can't lose it all just because of a little carelessness.
One little slip and they'll toss me into a hole I'll never crawl back out of.

RE: you went too far
Now you suddenly care about rules and appearances? Where were those rules when I tweaked the stats on the doll-chip so you could jump up the ranks? I didn't just do that for your career – I did it because I wanted things to change.
Only change I see is you becoming self-obsessed and lacking any conviction whatsoever. While everything else is just the way it used to be, you seem to be doing A-fuckin'-OK.

That's your perspective, but I see what's happening on the ground – change IS happening.
I really don't understand why you can't just trust me. It's not like I started out wanting to manage this place. Don't you know I'm doing this for us? I'm thinking about our future – I thought that would be proof enough of my commitment. Looks like for some reason it just pisses you off. Sue me, I guess.

Congrats, Maiko, you've ascended and left me back here in the real world. Seems our perspectives don't align anymore.
It's so obvious now that all this "ambition" you went on and on about was really just you wanting power. Shame on me for not noticing sooner.
I didn't think it was possible to hate this city even more, but you went and did it. Got yourself chewed up. I just hope when it finally spits out, there'll be something left of you. The old you.
