[ Tonegawa’s sitting at his desk with his sleeves rolled up and a glass of bourbon on the rocks, smiling to himself. Apparently all of his hard work has been paying off lately; the apartment behind him is neater and looks relatively more upmarket than the last, and even his suit has had an update from grey to greyish-tan. If one was to listen closely one would hear the sound of music playing hazily in the background.]
This place isn’t so bad after all, provided one can learn and adapt accordingly. The expression is "opportunity knocks but once", isn't it? It holds a certain amount of truth in some respect, I suppose, but then I've never much seen the point in waiting for that one call. Patience can only reap so much in terms of reward- these days, it seems to be more a scapegoat for laziness than anything. But that's alright. Time has a way of clearing out the deadbeats. You give as good as you get, et cetera. You all must be very familiar with the cliches by now.

I’m sure they’ll suit a stray like you perfectly.
