Fushimi-san is a high school janitor. She is tall. She is hard-working. She likes canned coffee. And she talks to us in just the right way. I hate people who think they know better just because "they are adults." I'm wondering what kind of adult I should be. If you feel that way, too, please come and see Fushimi-san. You might feel better, or have an epiphany about yourself.
