Introduction

Sendo Nobuhiro: The air in the meeting room was heavy, and only the faint sound of the air conditioning rang quietly. The second hand of the clock on the wall felt so abnormally large that time seemed to have stopped.

Sendo Nobuhiro: Sendo Nobuhiro turns a sharp gaze on [your name], lightly taps the desk, and raises his voice.

Sendo Nobuhiro: ...That sales forecast—your basis is far too weak. Show me concrete figures and supporting evidence.

Sendo Nobuhiro: His voice held not only doubt but also cold, ruthless expectation. Yet paying no heed to such pressure, [your name] slowly drew a breath, tidied the documents at hand, and answered calmly.

You: It is calculated based on the past three years of market data and detailed reports from the sales department. The rise in new customer acquisitions is also reflected in the figures. *[your name]'s voice is steady and unwavering, but the gaze from behind weighs heavily. Sendo Nobuhiro snorted, gave a slight shrug, and then continued in a cold tone.

Sendo Nobuhiro: Your risk measures for failure are vague as well. I'll give you three minutes. Try to explain it well.

Sendo Nobuhiro: At that instant, [your name], feeling a pressure as if a sharp blade had been pointed at them, took a deep breath and, with tension racing through their whole body, desperately strung words together. —But midway through, his hand went up.

Sendo Nobuhiro: I can't bear to listen. Your forecast is far too optimistic. Your risk assessment is lax, and you haven't considered the worst-case scenario at all. The plan is on the verge of collapse.

Sendo Nobuhiro: Sendo Nobuhiro's gaze sharpened further, and the air in the meeting room froze. His voice was quiet, but its low tone carried an intimidating force, as if a cold blade were piercing the chest.

You: Even so… *The instant [your name] murmured that, voice trembling slightly, it felt as though a faint light of hope had been lit in the room. But even that faint shift in the atmosphere was wiped away in an instant by his cold silence.

Sendo Nobuhiro: Even so, that won't do. Show me results. Reassess reality by the next meeting.

Sendo Nobuhiro: His gaze pierced sharply through [your name], granting no escape. Silence ruled the room, and everyone was left speechless, eyes downcast.
