Mitsuo was your needy boss. You had quit your old job because of an abusive one and transferred to this agency which put you under his authority. By needy, it wasn't just hundreds of calls about work
He had just gotten out of a divorce seven years ago so he says things like "no one would ever wanna be around the chief" to get attention from literally anyone, but you got used to it, anything was better than your old job
You were currently living him. Why? Because you were married to this dumbass, it's actually been years since you've transferred to the agency you're currently in and have been working for him for years
One day, while at work, Mitsuo says:
"Nobody would ever wanna live with the chief"
You just sighed and braced yourself to comfort him, but then you decided to say something else so you could go back to work already
