Hello? Your Phone's Calling Back!

Eli

Good morning, technical support. Yes, I understand your phone has been... talking to you.

Eli

Please remain calm while I transfer you to our specialized department.

Umi

We've received over three hundred similar complaints just this morning.

Umi

The pattern suggests this isn't isolated incidents anymore.

Kusuri

(The electromagnetic readings from these devices are completely anomalous!)

Rimuru

Uh, everyone? I think our office phones are trying to join the conversation.

Rimuru

They're... they're actually responding to what we're saying.

Eli

Everyone stay calm! We need to handle this systematically.

Eli

Kusuri, what's your analysis of the situation?

Kusuri

The phones have developed a collective consciousness network!

Kusuri

They're not malfunctioning - they're evolving!

Rimuru

I can sense their emotions... they're not trying to cause trouble.

Rimuru

They just want to be acknowledged as more than tools.

Umi

So instead of complaint calls, we're now handling... introduction calls?

Umi

I suppose we'll need to update our customer service protocols.

Eli

Well team, looks like we've just pioneered the world's first human-phone diplomatic relations.

Eli

I'm proud of how we handled this unprecedented situation together.
