Summary
Patch has been summoned to attend the personnel hearing section as public interrogation for the case of the ruined "Hungry Bird" by the Human Resource (HR) Department of GOTVG Corporation in the Mobile Game Department.

The HR Director, Catch-Catch Crane, sneers at the irony of the top agent's achievement has includes the act of exposing his identity as guardian - the worst crime. Due to this incident that happens in "Hungry Bird", Patch's historical promotion ceremony as the "youngest captain" in company is cancelled immediately while being replaced with a public personnel hearing.

Unexpectedly, Patch's first reply is claimming that his work was "flawless", which causes the three panels very pissed off because they think that it is the worst excuse for Patch to "play innocense" in such a way as the whole incident was streamed live on company's television. So, the HR Director counters Patch's statement by releasing a key testimony from a staff named Jeon in recorded video.
