70 – TDG 70

I'm ​not ​some ​well-connected ​middle manager who ​can ​pull ​strings ​for ​Esper calls, so where ​is ​this gentle kindness ​coming from—the kind ​that ​makes ​it ​seem ​like ​they'd pluck out ​their ​own ​liver for me?

In ​society, people who approach ​you with ​an unprompted, ​fluttering friendliness ​always have ​an ​ulterior ​motive, whether large ​or small. ​If you snap up ​an offer without knowing ​what's hidden inside, you're ​in for ​trouble. ​However, if you're too obviously guarded, ​your reputation suffers, so ​it's ​important ​to ​respond ​with a similar ​temperature.
