About the Game

(I give her a job and this is the thanks I get!)

She's covering the late shift part-time, and her name is Airi Kurusu.

She's rude, disrespectful, and lazy to boot.
She treats the customers like trash.
She's completely useless as an employee!

The shop is chronically understaffed—we need anyone we can get who has two hands and two working brain cells.
But at this point I'm not sure she meets our standards.

Firing isn't good enough for her.
Somebody has got to teach this girl a lesson, and as always, the Internet has a solution.
"SUPER EASY! Change hearts and minds NOW with HYPNOTIC SUGGESTION!!!"

It might not be the world's most legit-looking link, but I'm just going to fire her anyway.

It can't hurt to give it a shot.
