Ugh, dammit. I have so many logic problems with this chapter. What kind of Japanese shit is this where you can seem to get anyone in your stupid fucking company to wear a mascot costume? What kind of company has an armed 'investigator' wear said stupid fucking mascot costume out in public? What kind of 'use of force' scenario is this? Where is the logical progression where this stupid fucking idiot points a loaded weapon at a passive person wearing a mascot costume?
Imagine you have a federal work release prisoner, dressed as a clown, painting faces at a carnival... what the fuck scenario could justify a mime walking up from the parking lot and holding a machete to their neck?
