“Saguru, could you come here for a moment?”<\/span><\/p>\n “Yes, Papa?”<\/p>\n “We’re not French, Saguru. It’s ‘tousan,’ ‘dad,’ or ‘sir.’”<\/p>\n “Ah right… Dad..”<\/p>\n “I’ve been getting a few comments lately about your investigations around the office…”<\/p>\n Shit.<\/em> “Oh?”<\/p>\n “Please close the door. …Thank you. Yes, comments about the level of detail in… well, in the… How shall I put this?”<\/p>\n “I’m not sure. Am I in trouble..?”<\/p>\n “No, no… Nothing like that. It’s just that a couple of the staff have raised concerns…”<\/p>\n “Concerns about what?”<\/p>\n “That you might be taking things a little too… seriously. Now, now, Saguru, don’t make that face. They’re worried that you’re working too hard. That you’re wasting your time pulling up records that you don’t really need…”<\/p>\n “They have no idea what my investigations are. The information I pull is always strictly necessary.”<\/p>\n A heavy sigh from the senior Hakuba. “Their not knowing is part of the problem, Saguru. I give you a lot of freedom and a lot more unrestricted access to things than I really should, but I do it because I trust you and I don’t want you to be hindered. Especially with the language barrier, I-”<\/p>\n “I’m getting better, Dad. I’m working very hard.”<\/p>\n “I know you are. I know. I can see it in your face. You look tired, son.”<\/p>\n “…I’m fine.”<\/p>\n “Look, I just want you to relax for a while. Lay off all of the research and cut back on your cases. Exams are coming up, aren’t they? Some term thing?”<\/p>\n “I’ll be fine.”<\/p>\n “Well, your friends, then.”<\/p>\n “I don’t have any.”<\/p>\n “You certainly seem interested in the lives of your classmates, or so I’ve been told.”<\/p>\n “I… just want to be prepared.”<\/p>\n “Stop it. Just lay off. You remember the conversation we had about the Kuroba boy?”<\/p>\n “Yes.”<\/p>\n “Take a break. Get some air. You’re going to ruin your eyes pouring over that paperwork at all hours of the night and day.”<\/p>\n “I don’t think that’s necessarily true.”<\/p>\n “…Saguru.”<\/p>\n “Yes, sir?”<\/p>\n “Do as you’re told. I don’t want to hear any more ‘comments.’ You’re excused.”<\/p>\n “Yes, sir."\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Saguru, could you come here for a moment?” “Yes, Papa?” “We’re not French, Saguru.
