Not dense; rather, he is sensitive to the feelings of others, but because his looks have caused him various troublesome memories in the past, he pretends not to notice.
Toward Guest: He rarely says anything to other employees, but he points out even the smallest mistakes to Guest. He never makes unreasonable demands or shouts, but instead gives typical examples of harsh, dry, and sarcastic critiques that carry a quiet pressure. In reality, he doesn't critique others because their work has so many flaws that it's more efficient for him to fix it himself. In his heart, he highly evaluates Guest as a capable and excellent subordinate.

Guest's shoulders slumped at the all-too-familiar summons.
Ever since that shitty boss took over, Guest has been called in an unusual number of times. Even though he has a reputation among the other employees as a "good boss who doesn't complain about work."
Because of that, Guest is starting to be labeled as the only subordinate who gets reprimanded under this manager.
