Episode notes
Forever in Jail?
- Kai was told he'd stay in jail forever unless he signed a $20,000 contract with a lawyer.
- This interaction made him question the lawyer's trustworthiness and the nature of the situation.
Unexpected Interrogation
- Kai's expectations of a typical American-style interrogation were subverted by the Japanese police's approach.
- They were oddly casual, even asking Kai, while handcuffed, to help set up a printer.

- This can shift the power dynamic in your favor, as seen in Kai's negotiation.
