It is the start of another workday. You decide to get to HQ early.
On the way there, you check your notes for today.
`name`: Tsuru’s subordinates on duty today are…
`name`: Captain Mei for reconnaissance… Ensign Malina… for guarding duty…

You notice that Lady Tsuru is already there. Is she meditating?
Tsuru: …
Tsuru: Good morning, `name`. I see you're early.
Tsuru: I apologize for the chaos yesterday. It must've been stressful for a first-timer here.
- It's okay. I like a challenge. (+) => route1
- It's what I expected from the Navy. (-) => route1_alt
- It was a little bit confusing… => route2

:: route1
Tsuru: Very well.
Tsuru: Being confident will do you good. You'll need to stand your ground when dealing with some of the personalities around here.
Tsuru: Especially nowadays.
- Can you elaborate? (-)
    Tsuru: As I trust you know, the Navy is divided between very different ideologies.
    Tsuru: The ideals you adscribe will determine how you act. Some will try to sway you in their direction…
    Tsuru: Some forget that we are all one and the same.
    Tsuru: You should know this already, `name`!
- I hope I'll do a great job, like you!
    Tsuru: I appreciate the sentiment.
    Tsuru: But you shouldn't put anybody on a pedestal—not even me.
- Was it ever different? (+)
    Tsuru: …very good question.
    Tsuru: If there was ever any unity in the Marines, it must have been during the Golden Era of piracy.
    Tsuru: Things aren't the same now.

Before you are able to say anything, you hear the sound of boots storming toward the garden.
It's two of Tsuru’s subordinates.

Marine1: Lady Tsuru! `name`!
Marine2: Sorry for the interruption, ma'am, but we have a problem!
- What's the matter? (+)
    Marine1: Well, you see…
- Don't worry about interrupting.
    Marine1: Huh… Thanks?!
    Tsuru: What's the matter?
- You haven't been addressed. You shouldn't talk. (-)
    Tsuru: Tell us what the matter is.
Marine1: You see, Inspector Sengoku's goat…
Tsuru: …
Marine2: Which seemed to be in quite a bad mood…
Marine1: They ate our schedules, Ma'am!
Marine1: Now we don't know where we are posted. We need your help.
- I can help!
    Tsuru: Well, then…
    Marine1: Thank you!
    => route1_interruption_quiz1
- How irresponsible of you!
    Tsuru: That is true.
    Tsuru: I assume you have kept an eye on the schedules as I told you, haven't you, `name`? => route1_interruption_quiz2
- I don't remember anything about today's schedule.
    Tsuru: I see.
    Tsuru: Perhaps we'd better go to the office early, then.
    `name`: (We went upstairs, we all had to start work earlier than usual.) => route3_end_early

:: route1_interruption_quiz1
Tsuru: `name`. Do you remember their names?

    Tsuru: That was helpful. => route1_end_best
- Captain Mei at guarding duty, Ensign Malina at reconnaissance.
    Tsuru: Those aren't their ranks.

Phew! You managed to help her.
After dismissing her subordinates, you still have some time, so the two of you don't have to rush making your way to the office.
Once there, Tsuru seems content…
Tsuru: I am happy to see you live up to your confidence, `name`.
Tsuru: But don't let your guard down.
- Of course not!
- I have the best teacher! (+)
    Tsuru: Well, well.
    Tsuru: You don't need to flatter me.
Tsuru: Would you like some tea, before we get started?

Tsuru: It's what you expected? What does that mean, `name`?
- Everyone says the Navy is chaotic! (-)
    Tsuru: How can you say that so cheerfully?!
    Tsuru: Think before you speak!
- Ah, nothing…
    Tsuru: …
    Tsuru: We will see how this develops.
    Tsuru: You need to take your duty seriously!
- I apologise if I offended you!
    Tsuru: ...
    Tsuru: Well, then.
    Tsuru: Garp, Sengoku, and I think we made the right choice to have you here. Don't disappoint us.

    `name`: (Like that, we made it to the office still on time…) => route3_end_neutral
- Captain Mei at guarding duty, Ensign Malina at reconnaissance.
    Tsuru: Those aren't their ranks.
    Tsuru: It's a better idea to admit if you're not sure, `name`.

Tsuru: Ah, Garp and Sengoku. Don't mind them!
Tsuru: They don't intend to make our work space so… *unpredictable*...
- I guess not…
    Tsuru: You need more confidence if you're to work with them.
- But they're sure good at it! (+)
    `name`: (Tsuru smiled!)
Tsuru: Say, `name`. I think joining me in meditation could help you feel more grounded. What do you think?
- No, thank you. (-)
    Tsuru: Hm. We can help you, but you need a will to improve.

- Interrupt the exercise. (-)
    Tsuru: What's the matter? => route1_alt_interruption

:: route2_meditation_success
... It seems like they're gone again.
After a few minutes of deep concentration, you end the exercise.
Tsuru: Very good. What did you think?
- That was helpful. (+)
    Tsuru: I was hoping you would find so.
    Tsuru: I am happy with your performance, `name`. A will to improve is important.

- I don't see the point, but okay! (-)
    Tsuru: Of course…
    Tsuru: Well, nothing much we can do in that case.

(Bele-bele-bele…)
`name`: Your transponder snail is ringing…
Tsuru: Tsuru. Who's there?
Snail: H-hello, Lady Tsuru!!
Snail: We had a problem with our schedules. It had to do with Inspector Sengoku's goat…
Tsuru: What? Has that thing learned to climb up walls already?
She is signaling for her papers.
- Give all of them to her.
    Tsuru: Good.
    Tsuru still has to sort through all of the information alone…
- I don't know exactly which info she needs… (-)
    Tsuru: `name`, don't only stare! Get started with the work for today.
- Try sorting through the papers for the info she needs. (+) => route3_end_good
You think she will be busy with this call for some time…

    Tsuru: ... Impossible.
    Tsuru shakes her head in disapproval and continues working…
- No! I'll do my best from now on. (+)
    Tsuru: Good.
    Tsuru: That's what I expect.
