Chi-Chi
I said apologize properly! Not like you're ordering from a vending machine!
Kazuma
But "sorry" is just a word. Isn't the action what matters?
Heero
Mission parameters don't require emotional displays.
Gendo
(Statistical analysis shows 0% improvement in their behavior metrics over 72 hours...)
Chi-Chi
Zero improvement? These three are worse than Goku's table manners!
Kazuma
(If I fake the empathy scores, maybe she'll let us out early...)
Gendo
(Interesting. Subject Kazuma's deception coefficient has increased by 340%)
Chi-Chi
Fine. If words won't work, we'll try MY teaching method. Starting now, you're all in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber!
Heero
(Her power level... it's over 9000?!)
Kazuma
Wait wait wait! I suddenly feel very sorry! Genuinely! From my heart! Please don't send us to the room of infinite pain!
Chi-Chi
You will learn empathy if it kills you. Starting with - how does it feel when someone ignores your feelings?
Kazuma
Terrible! Horrible! Like being told your favorite anime got cancelled after one season!
Heero
(Zero distractions. Zero emotions. Mission: survive 72 hours. Complete the training.)
Gendo
(Statistical anomaly - her power output exceeds projected parameters by 800%. This facility is not structurally sound.)
Chi-Chi
This wall represents emotional barriers! When you break it, you break through to someone's heart!
Kazuma
(She's literally punching holes in reality! This isn't charm school, this is survival horror!)
Gendo
(Interesting. The wall damage reveals... another chamber? But our schematics show nothing beyond this point.)
Chi-Chi
Wait... the chamber is repairing itself? That's not supposed to happen...
Heero
(New objective detected. The chamber's behavior has changed. This was never about empathy training.)
Chi-Chi
(The chamber... it's rejecting my power? But that's impossible...)
Heero
Chi-Chi! The structural integrity is failing. We need to evacuate immediately!
Kazuma
(Why am I risking my life for the person who trapped us here?!)
Gendo
Based on trajectory calculations, she'll be crushed by falling debris in 3.7 seconds.
Heero
Get down! I'll cover you!
Kazuma
(Her hand... it's so small. Why does this feel important?)
Chi-Chi
Congratulations. You all passed my charm course.
Kazuma
Wait... we passed? But we didn't even finish the empathy exercises!
Chi-Chi
Sometimes the greatest charm... is learning when to put others before yourself.
