**One Kick Girl — Chapter 195:
"All Hands (Nothing Is Said Clearly)"**
Mass confusion • Corporate theater • Raon vs the microphone of lies
1. The Meeting That Eats Everyone
The invite arrived like a siren.
Subject:
ALL HANDS
Attendees: Everyone.
Raon stared.
"…Why does it feel like a funeral."
Shion nodded. "Because something died. They just won't say what."
2. The Lobby of Fear
People joined early.
Muted.
Cameras off.
Chat disabled.
Raon whispered, "Why can't we talk."
"So we can't ask questions," Shion replied.
Raon clenched her fists.
"That's cheating."
"Yes."
3. The Opening Slide
Slide one appeared.
Thank You for Your Hard Work
Raon frowned.
"…That's never good."
Shion whispered, "That's the anesthesia."
4. The Speech of Nothing
Leadership spoke.
Long sentences.
Zero nouns.
"We're navigating a dynamic environment."
Raon tilted her head.
"Are we in danger."
"They won't say," Shion replied.
5. The Graph That Explains Nothing
A chart appeared.
Arrows.
Colors.
No labels.
"This reflects our current trajectory," the speaker said.
Raon whispered, "Trajectory to WHERE."
Shion typed a private note: They're stalling.
6. The Praise Trap
Shout-outs began.
"Great job to the team for flexibility!"
Raon stiffened.
"That means extra work, right?"
Shion nodded. "Unpaid."
7. The Non-Announcement
"So to be clear," the leader continued,
"nothing is changing right now."
Raon gasped.
"…Then why are we here."
Shion whispered, "To make it official."
8. Q&A (The Fake One)
The Q&A slide appeared.
No one was allowed to speak.
Questions filtered through moderation.
Raon typed furiously.
What exactly is changing?
It never appeared.
9. The Closing Line That Lies
The leader smiled.
"We're all aligned."
Raon whispered.
"No we're not."
Shion replied.
"They just declared it."
10. The Call Ends
Everyone left silently.
No chat.
No follow-up doc.
Raon stared at her screen.
"…Did that happen."
Shion closed her laptop.
"Yes. And nothing was resolved."
11. Aftermath Ping
A message popped up.
Thanks for attending the All Hands.
Raon laughed hollowly.
"Attend what."
Shion stood.
"The performance."
12. Raon's Final Question
Raon looked at Shion.
"All these meetings… do they ever stop?"
Shion met her gaze.
"Only when someone tells the truth."
Raon nodded slowly.
"…I'll kick the truth out of them."
Shion allowed herself a small smile.
13. Post-Credit Calm
For the first time all day—
No new invites.
No pings.
Silence.
Raon exhaled.
"…Is it over?"
Shion listened.
Then—
A notification chimed.
Subject:
Follow-Up Alignment
Shion sighed.
"Of course not."
