"Naoki's doin' good, by the way. He's seein' somebody. Wanted me to put together a present he can give her. Mailed it out last night." He settled in, drank and casually lay his chin into a propped palm.
"Hm... Y'got too much goin' for ya just to rot in a cubicle for 60 hours a week, dude. All work, no play, dull boy or however it goes."
He set the mug down and tapped a finger. "I think... I think you'd do best if ya make an impact on people, like ya did with us. Or, shit, if ya go on safari and tame a mess of lions or somethin'. Be like that lion dude on TV who babytalks the big cats and they roll all over him like they've known him all their lives."
But Kanji shrugged. "Or, I dunno, if you were a teacher or somethin'. You kicked ass at that daycare."
