There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general:

(1)Recklessness, which leads to destruction;
(2) Cowardice, which leads to capture;
(3)A hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;
(4)A delicacy of honour which is sensitive to shame;
(5) Over-Solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.

These are the five besetting sins

You believe the Art of War will help here?

[mean_left_hook]

I think it has many applications.

[angelic_lawyer]

Fair enough.

[mean_left_hook]

I've heard that some famous chefs use Art of War as a standard to run their kitchens by.

[angelic_lawyer]

Is that so? I can't say that was something I expected.

[mean_left_hook]

Competitive business closely resembles war, and is equally if not moreso cutthroat.

[angelic_lawyer]

I suppose it is.

[mean_left_hook]

You're a lawyer, right?

I can see Art of War applying to the courtroom too.

[angelic_lawyer]

Ah, yes I am. If we've spoken before, I must apologise, I'm afraid I don't remember it.

In some ways, I suppose it does.

[mean_left_hook]

We've never spoken, but I've been doing a lot of reading lately.

My name is Akihiko Sanada. I can't quite remember your name- just your frequency and that you're a lawyer.

[angelic_lawyer]

It's good to know that my memory is failing me, then.

I'm Naruse Ryou. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[mean_left_hook]

The pleasure is mine.

I know a few police officers and detectives, but I can't say I've ever spoken to a lawyer directly.

I'm actually very interested in law.

[angelic_lawyer]

I was under the impression most avoided speaking to lawyers unless it was absolutely necessary, to be fair.

You are?

[mean_left_hook]

Yeah. When I do watch TV, I watch foreign law series.

I spend a fair bit of time at the local police station, of my own accord. I like to know what's going on in the city, and I have a few acquaintances with similar... views on current issues.

[angelic_lawyer]

I see.

It's nice to know that you take such an active interest in local affairs.

He grows up to become a sexy Police Officer. -Proud-

[mean_left_hook]

I'd say it's progressed from an interest into a very time and energy consuming hobby at this point.
