She worked with the other NSF Engineers to decipher or crack a black box, the field agents found. It helped; she kept the focus on her peaceful humming tune of different gun sounds. [color=DE6AE6]” It is quite nice to decipher a black box; isn’t that right, everyone else? Uh, I think I lost track of time or something… but how long have we been trying to do this again?”[/color] Mikasa questioned the other engineers since she works and works without realizing it's time. It is a bit unhealthy for her to do that, but she wakes up in the morning to tinker with stuff. Mikasa stretched her arms a bit since they were strained somewhat by all the other projects she has for field agents. She always thought to keep herself limber and active over slowly getting more and more tired throughout the day. However, she felt a shiver down her spine since that probably means Akechi called Naomi yet again. [color=DE6AE6][i]’ I have a feeling Naomi is being called right now… I dislike how Akechi is such an ass.’[/i][/color] Mikasa thought with a smile on her face while still focused on working. It is quite a harsh thing, but Naomi does seriously need to tell her father off one of these days. Mikasa always tried to get Naomi to do that, but she never does; it's like she has no drive to do so, which annoys her. However, Naomi did get married to the one that truly did love her. If anything, Mikasa tries not to deal with telling Akechi to fuck off and leave his daughter alone and let her live in happiness that she is trying to keep. However, Naomi wouldn’t probably enjoy Mikasa interfering again like previously. [color=DE6AE6]”Hmm… I hope we do get this cracked… because it would help me out much. Therefore, I can work on repairing or upgrading gear for the field agents.”[/color] Mikasa said with a wonderfully hopeful tone that they could crack the black box. It is always odd for her to say hope to crack something since they will crack it, but she wants to work on the more important stuff for the field agents, even though this is definitely important. However, Mikasa does have a slight bit of a nervous feeling towards the thing inside her left pocket, the flash drive that needs to be worked on more when she gets home.

It constantly makes her deep in her heart feel happy she has a daughter and a husband who loves her deeply. She looked down at her green tea and the healthy snack, which makes her deep sigh, being reminded that Akechi will probably call soon. [color=2DAA6D][i]’ I hope dad doesn’t like bad mouth me again, but the likelihood of that happening is a super low chance since he never saw me as his daughter but only as a tool to use...’[/i][/color] She thought with deepening lack of a smile on her face and like she had to deal with the devil soon. It was in her body language by sitting at one of the tables in the lounge. Naomi’s phone vibrates, which means Akechi is calling had a routine; hopefully, it will be better than his usual phone calls to her. She sighs and puts her headset on, and answers the call by saying his first name. [color=2DAA6D]” Y-Yes, father, what do you want now?”[/color] She asked with a slight bit of a hint of fear in her voice. Naomi was visibly shaking and worried about what her father will say, but she’s trapped in the cycle. All because her mother didn’t apologize to her, which would have helped her a bit. Akechi sighed over the call in hearing the fear in her voice because she only stutters when talking to him or her mother. He took a bit to refocus his attention on what is at hand instead of his daughter constantly being worthless. [color=778899]”...You worthless experiment, Naomi. You really need to get some backbone, worthless. However, to the point, the Drai Division has given me an update on your [i]mental health[/i] profile. And it is not good… But the Drai Division told me you wouldn’t be given shocks for a whole day tomorrow to see if that helps your mental health.”[/color] Akechi said with a tone of heavy annoyance in his voice. He wanted to see if some positive reinforcement will help his daughter’s mental health since this is the first time. He’d have ever given her a break from being immobilized by the pain of the shocks. However, Akechi gave his daughter the news he straight up hanged up since he’s still heavily disappointed in his daughter’s performance. Naomi's eyes went wide when her father told her about not going to be immobilized for the whole day tomorrow. She sighed when her father straight up hanged up on her so she couldn’t give him her response to the news. However, he did start with an insult like usual, so her father is still causing her mental trauma. [color=2DAA6D]”Damn it… I cannot really stand up to his voice… Akechi is really good at making me feel worthless.”[/color] Naomi said with a slightly frustrated look on her face. In her whole body language, she felt much better after the call, but she doesn’t have to hear her father for a whole different purpose. Naomi went back to drinking her green tea and ate a bit of her snack she got. It was always one thing or another with her father will he be nice or is he stuck in his ways for being a traditionalist Japanese Businessman. However, it must mean her father wants something from her; it made her completely worried. [color=2DAA6D][i]” Oh no, what does Akechi want now? Please no more father… I can’t handle any more experiments on me… from the Drai Division...”[/i][/color] Naomi thought with tears going down her cheek, completely afraid of what might happen. She was a broken woman who has some hope in her life, which was only because of her sweet little girl Ayame. It took her some time to regain her resolve to have a relaxing day at the NSF Headquarters. If anything, Akechi always ruins her mood when she wants to relax; it's like clockwork. Naomi looked at the plate, which held the cup she was drinking green tea out of. [color=2DAA6D]” I can’t wait to see my husband and my sweet little girl. They are my hope, and I am cherishing all the moments with them...”[/color] Naomi said out loud without really thinking because she cannot handle any more problems.
