I just heard there was an incident in the Danger Gym? It wouldn't be a violation of your professional ethics to let me know how Ashida-san is doing, I hope?

And Jean-Paul, of course.

Ashida-san and Jean-Paul.

Very kind of you to ask after Jean-Paul, who was the one who was actually injured in the incident. I'm sure he would appreciate it.

As for Noriko, I don't know how she's doing, but if you are asking if I could find out, I suppose I could speak to her. She seemed visibly shaken when I last saw her, and the least I could do would be to follow up on that.

Really? I'm more inclined to think he'd be surprised. We've never really had occasion to interact at any length.

All that aside, I am in your debt! Arigatou. And do let me know what you find.

... also, if you wouldn't mind not mentioning I asked? It would probably spare us all some awkwardness.

I was being sarcastic. Should I ask why she's not supposed to know you care?
