Now we've stepped into the light...

Every boss mirrors some aspect of Chai.

QA-1MIL is single minded focus. Chai wants to be a rockstar. That's it. Everything else, including the mission, takes a backseat, if it takes a seat at all.

Rekka is arrogance. Chai and Rekka both prop themselves up with voices feeding their own ego (Rekka's Hype Man, the Announcer), without much care for if they've actually earned it.

Zanzo is cleverness. Chai isn't stupid, we see him have good ideas all the time, (it's here that he comes up with the parry on his own, after all.) They just get buried in the traits shown above, just as Zanzo's own cleverness gets lost in his perfectionism and inability to compromise.

Korsica is very specific, but she's going along with something with little thought into what they're actually doing. It takes Chai until halfway through Track 1 to ask what Peppermint's goals and name even are. Similarly, it takes Chai yelling at Korsica for her to even consider something is wrong with SPECTRA.

Mimosa is attention seeking. This is my most firm because it's the most obvious. Their fight is literally a battle for attention on a stage in front of a massive crowd.

Roquefort is loyalty. This one is the shakiest, but I still believe in it. Roquefort is deeply loyal to Kale after he saved his life, willing to do just about anything in the CEO's name. Similarly, the rest of the TEAm gave Chai things he never even dreamed of (friends), leading him to keep going despite all he suffers.

(Hello I'd like to preface this post by saying 1. Despite the probably aggressive tone of this post, I am completely joking, and 2. I have mobility issues, and they were very noticeable for me lately, which is why I thought to make this post. Ok let's all laugh together now)

I have no idea why, but I was reminded of this one specific ramp in R&D that makes my blood boil every time I see it.

Who. Who approved this?????? Why is it so steep???? I am NOT making it up that without help.

Then I fell down a rabbit hole.

Why are all these ramps so steep????? And why are there no handrails in the majority of them?? NOT TO MENTION (though they're not pictured) that there are stairs usually right after these ramps (which feels counterintuitive)

And then this. This feels problematic. Bc the majority of BK/old Vandelay models have wheels instead of legs, and would thus have the same issues with mobility as, for example, a wheelchair user.

Korsica, honey, I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this. I physically cannot go up the stairs without being in pain or needing prolonged breaks. Also have you seen how TALL THE SECURITY BUILDING IS????? Please.
