That sounded like Caissa: bored and looking for her next challenge. His mind wandered back to the time everyone's phones went off, and she specifically had many going off.
He did winced a little as Caissa looked... beside him? There was nothing there, but she spoke with a serious passion that made him think he said something wrong.
He sunk back into his chair, all his acting of being a chill dude who's just looking for his next job but has everything under control slipping away. What was left was Konpeitō playing dress-up and not knowing exactly how to explain himself.
"I, uh," he stumbled before coughing. "None of my work gives me the drive I need. Body donation has great pay, but there's not much work I can put into it to feel proud of. The arena lets me get my voice out and perform, but," he laughed, "the pay isn't that good. There's nothing for me to climb up either." He straightened up his back and put an elbow on the table to support his head. "My dad was an information broker, so I figured I'd try that out. See if it sparks something in me. And if it doesn't? I get rid of my persona and continue living like nothing happened."
