Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

The upper floors of Daydream Inc. headquarters.

Knock, knock, knock.

I carefully rapped on the luxurious door with the back of my hand. The door slid open automatically, and...

"You're here."

Inside, the figure of the director seated at their desk came into view. An executive with dark, blue-tinged hair of indeterminate age. Director Cheong Dallae.

"You didn't waste unnecessary time, nor were you deceived by schemes. A wise child always lives long, you know."

Quite the fierce way to deliver a compliment...

"Yes, thank you, ma'am."

In any case, I'd made my decision. I chose to accept Director Cheong's proposal: 'to turn D-squad into an elite squad'.

There were reasons, of course, but I'd reflect on those later. For now, I had to handle the intimidating executive in front of me.

Director Cheong examined me with a satisfied expression and smiled. "I trust you'll wait quietly while the reorganization takes place in the necessary time."

"Yes, ma'am. I'll work even harder to ensure I'm deserving of this promotion."
