"Why is his ability code geass" well Mitarai having no ability would be pretty odd when his whole thing is having more power than he knows how to use and I'm not about to change his name to some famous author so it's just the name of an anime that involves mind control. be thankful it's not Death Note. Crime & Punishment is enough for one Yokohama. I guess Geass could command people to die

[Though it would be hard to tell behind those glasses, what Mitarai says certainly grabs Gokyadkin’s interest.

He tilts his head towards him, food no longer of any significance to him. No - it was all on his equally meek coworker now.]

You say it shouldn’t impinge on the freedom of those in the 3D world, but call the 2D world limitless.

[He’s careful to avoid a tone of judgement or criticism, speaking delicately and impartially, approaching the subject as tentatively as one would a deer in the woods.]

Do you not think a three-dimensional life can have that freedom?

[lovedanime]

[At first his eyes are accordingly deerlike but in the end he forces out an answer.]

The world would have to change drastically for that to happen... I think.

[sendintheclown]

[Ah, maybe he was too direct.

Golyadkin stutters out a response, though it quickly smooths out into calmness.]

Y-yes...it would, wouldn't it?

[He remembers his food, and begins to swirl his chopsticks in the soup to provide distraction.]

Do you think it could? [A pause.] Ah, hypothetically, of course.

[lovedanime]

[This more indirect approach at least results in Mitarai chewing his bean sprouts thoughtfully.]

I suppose I believe in the potential for a kind of... well, the most apt way to put it in this context would actually be "cultural revolution"?

[He clamps a number of noodles, tightly.]

Unfortunately, we live in hard times, so I've begun to doubt the stars will line up soon enough. [He smiles - twitchy, now completely obvious in its forced quality compared to discussing anime.] I've just been focusing my efforts on protecting this country.

When the stars don't align, maybe you just have to push them.

[He pulls some noodles from the bowl, allowing them to cool in the air before doing anything about them.]

Ah, of course that's all just- it's just being poetic at this point. And I'm - I'm just a secretary. That's not my department.

[A light chuckle, and that delicately serious tone is dismissed. Golyadkin chews on his food, glasses starting to clear up.]

That's an important job, after all. Um, yours, I mean. I can't imagine having that responsibility.
