This response is truly amazing. A female manager (51 years old, Deputy General Manager of Sales) recommended life insurance and investment trusts to a customer and embezzled 8.2 million yen in cash → immediately dismissed on the 16th and reported to the police. And just three days after her dismissal, she even held a press conference to announce it. It's honestly rare to see such speedy information disclosure and disciplinary action in a financial institution's misconduct case. In most cases, it's 'under investigation'...

This is a slight digression, but recently, the number of stations achieving 'barrier-free access through the construction of new level crossings within the station premises' has been gradually increasing. Overpasses with only stairs are overkill for lines with only one or two trains per hour, and they encourage dangerous crossings by the elderly. It seems the authorities are becoming a little more flexible, which I think is a welcome change. https://t.co/leolj3XIpn https://t.co/kz2fTcQqjB

This donation box is popular because of its striking appearance and the amusing way the coins move when placed inside, but recently a candy bag got stuck in its throat. This is 100% a deliberate and malicious act of vandalism, as it's impossible that someone put a candy bag in there by mistake. But seriously, consider what would happen if this were a living animal instead of a donation box… pic.twitter.com/xhX3X9WX5a

Please take a good look at the condition of both my arms.
The range of motion in both arms is barely 50 centimeters, even just extending them to the sides. Any restriction in that range of motion causes excruciating pain.
But when I talk to my family about the novel I'm currently working on, I feel very cheerful.
