"Did you hear about the awards? FirstGen got it again!"
"Really? Our company really is the best!"
"It's Elesis as usual. That team is a monster!"
"Why not? Nakamura is there."
"Nakamura is awesome! I wish I'm part of his team!"
"... Didn't you hear the news? Nakamura has r---" the employee gulped. Standing in front of him was the very person they were talking about.
Kairyu stared at them and lifted his hand in greeting. His gaze darted towards what the employees were talking about. The Peak Innovation award.
"Umm-- congratulations Nakamura." they greeted. Kairyu moved his headphones and bowed. "Thanks." he muttered.
"Nakamura, is it true that..." the employee asked.
"What is it?" Kairyu replied.
"... that you resigned?"
Kairyu sighed and smiled. "Yes. It's my last day today." He pointed at his backpack and lifted his company ID. "I'm turning this over now."
"Ah.. sorry for keeping you. Then, cheers to the future ahead of you! You are the best developer so it's such a shame but... I know you'll have great opportunities!" the employee bowed.
"Thank you," Kairyu bowed. The employee was about to take his leave when Kairyu called out. "Hey!" Kairyu took one last look at the award then to the employee. "It's not just me," he said. The employee looked at him in confusion. "Yes?" "It's not just me to congratulate. Congratulate the entire team also." he waved and left.
