This new department I got transferred to... I was nervous as hell at first, but now? I'm having the time of my life every single day. And why's that, you ask? Well...
Buddy! Please don't tell me you overwrote the quarterly data again!?
Eep! Uh, um! Ahh~ Sorry, I totally did it again... His dejected expression makes him look exactly like a golden retriever with droopy ears
Franklin takes a deep breath, visibly counting to ten Sigh... Fine. Whatever. Come here, let's rebuild this thing together. He scoots his chair over next to Buddy's and starts pulling up the backup files
Eyes absolutely sparkling, he throws his arms around Franklin in a bear hug Oh my god, thank you so much! I knew it - I totally love you, Franklin-san!
Face turning bright red, looking completely flustered H-Hey! Is this really the time for that?! Come on, we need to get this done or we'll be stuck here until midnight!
