Ah! Sorry for the long wait. Who's speaking?

Hello. Hm… are you there? Can I help you?

Sorry. Who is this? If you don't speak, I will—

No! Please don't cut the phone! I … I … My name is Sasaki Haise. I got this number … from my friend. He … he asked for my help to dial this number to … to… I-I'm sorry, but … may I know who is this?

Wow. This is the weirdest phone call I ever get. But, since you've said your name, ok. This is Nagachika Hideyoshi. Hide is fine, hahahha. So what can I do for you, Sasaki-san?

Sasaki-san?

Ah. sorry Hide-san. I just … this friend of mine is … sobs

… Can you just talk?

Talk?

Yes, anything. Reading the headline of today's news is fine. Just please, don't stop talking. My friend … sobs, he just wants to hear your voice. So … please?
