"Ran scolded you for being too slow with inspecting the barrier? I suppose there's no helping it when you're not familiar with it. Being scolded is part of a job. ...Well, it's especially bitter when you can't even do your main task...... It may be admirable to hold back the tears, but if you can't stand it, you'll end up crying anyway. Swallowing that resentment will just be bad for you physically and mentally. You'll just invite other burdens. At these times, you need to just let it out. Luckily, there's no one around. There's nothing to be ashamed of. ...I'll watch over this area for a while. When you find a good time, I'll bring you home, Chen."
