¨¨¨^=^*§£# he's not above petty crime, but he #£§*^=^¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^=^*§£ knows that if he puts in a bit of work, £§*^=^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨^=^*§£# he will find much more lucrative #£§*^=^¨¨¨

¨^=^*§£### ###£§*^=^¨
¨¨^=^*§£## and thus he's currently working ##£§*^=^¨¨
¨¨¨^=^*§£# alongside hatsune miku for a company #£§*^=^¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^=^*§£ that makes synthetic meal replacements. £§*^=^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨^=^*§£# he's got a vague outline of a plan, to #£§*^=^¨¨¨
¨¨^=^*§£## scatter with some product, or even ##£§*^=^¨¨
¨^=^*§£### better, some formula? these things are ###£§*^=^¨
¨¨^=^*§£## worth a lot to a competitor. ##£§*^=^¨¨
¨¨¨^=^*§£# #£§*^=^¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^=^*§£ he's been lucky; the place is £§*^=^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨^=^*§£# surprisingly unguarded. once he's got #£§*^=^¨¨¨
¨¨^=^*§£## his paws on something worthwhile, it'll ##£§*^=^¨¨
¨^=^*§£### be easy to just waltz out. until then, ###£§*^=^¨
¨¨^=^*§£## keep doing the work... ##£§*^=^¨¨
¨¨¨^=^*§£# #£§*^=^¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^=^*§£ come to think of it, the place is £§*^=^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨^=^*§£# almost eerily empty. there are few #£§*^=^¨¨¨
¨¨^=^*§£## coworkers. (in fact the company is ##£§*^=^¨¨

¨¨¨^=^*§£# #£§*^=^¨¨¨

¨¨¨^=^*§£# original culture which is fed blood #£§*^=^¨¨¨
¨¨^=^*§£## meal, bone meal, what doesn't qualify ##£§*^=^¨¨
