What?

[Sorry, Komaeda, did you say something? Newt's monkeying around on his tablet. He's a very busy man, okay?

Or he should be, anyway, but Shao has for some reason seen it fit to saddle him with playing escort to this little punk. Doesn't she have, like, other people who can handle this? Other people that aren't, hmm, the heads of all-important research and engineering divisions? Hell, Newt would kick her one of his lackeys if it meant he got out of this dumb grunt work. It's a waste of everyone's time, not having him in the lab.

Try telling that to her, though. Ugh.]

Right, uhh, no problem. Our pleasure. Happy to have you. [Suuuper dismissive.] When's your school coming to grab you, again? We should probably, ah, get you down to the lobby or whatever.

[Because he will be free from this hell soon, right? Right??]
