Your condition, [ Kim repeats, as though it's only occurring to him now that Fukuda has a grievous facial injury and he hasn't been wondering about it the whole damn time. It would be just his luck that Fukuda is talking about a different, invisible condition unrelated to the scarring that mars his face, but he figures it's an understandable enough slip-up for him to go that route anyway. ]

Your... injury, I assume. [ He gestures to his own face. ] That being said, office work is an important component of policework. We would be quite lost without our radio operators. If it causes you too much pain to go on active duty, it's a viable option you can speak to your superiors about.
