Description: "It seems only those who can resist crying are gifted this equipment. The bright gaze of the suit can feel unnerving, but once one decides to wear it, the sorrow becomes as comfortable as one's own shadow.
If worn for an extended period of time, the employee may lose their sense of identity. "
