"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

[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.
