Huh. [ That actually does get him to laugh once he's swallowed. ]
I mean, switching majors isn't that unusual honestly, I'm just more amused because if you stuck with it, you'd share majors with me. I went for Criminology, myself.
[She goes quiet for a moment, fingers running along the rim of her cup.]
I've always wanted to help and protect people. When I went into Criminology, it was to prepare for when I'd eventually go back to Japan and become a policewoman in my home city.
But after everything with Retrospec...after that month of going through Ryoji's death and revival? I realized that protecting people and helping them can be vastly different things. [A wry smile.] I could never be a good policewoman, the way I want to protect people. I'd run through so much red tape. So I decided that I would focus on what I've loved all along, and keep doing my work at ReVA instead. My father, Lucian, suggested I go into Management for that.
Makes sense. That was kind of a similar train of thought I had.
[ He frowns a little as he continues to listen, nodding slowly. Honestly a lot of what she was saying resonated with him, especially with everything going on lately. ]
Yeah, I can see that. I don't know if I'd actually go for a police job now that I've done this for a few years either. I was prepared for the red tape starting off, but protecting one person and trying to keep him safe under any circumstance gives you a hell of a lot more freedom than most of the bureaucratic bullshit you'd normally deal with on the force.
[ He snorts. ]
And even beyond that, as long as you love what you're doing, it helps. A lot. I might gripe about Yoon-sung being a pain in the ass but I don't regret my decision accepting the position.
Being best friends probably helps a lot, too, huh? I love working with Ryoji on ReVA projects, even if he sometimes drives me crazy with how he skips around all the practical parts of event planning.

What exactly sparked the change, if I might ask?

That sounds eerily familiar, honestly. Only Yoon-sung can't really get out of his meetings most of the time.
