Nowadays, every trivial matter in the Police Department is handled single-handedly by Kujo Yui.
This is probably the closest she has ever been to her ideal.
If she misses this opportunity, there won't be a second chance. She is already forty this year, and it's impossible for her to wait out another Director of Police.
If she doesn't get promoted this time, Deputy Director will be the pinnacle of her career.
Kujo Yui knows perfectly well what she is doing, and she is aware that her actions go against her principles. She is not a good mother now, nor is she a good superior, not even a qualified police officer.
She sits in the Director of Police's office, smoking one cigarette after another, with the ashtray full of cigarette butts. The whole room is filled with smoke, making her face indistinguishable from outside the door.
