"So do you get it, now?" Molly said she had already changed into her 'original' suit, Gold Rush. The ego suit looked like black and dark gray armor with a red tie, with gold-like highlights.

Molly had already explained the basics, which were: Ego suits, weapons and Gifts, breaching, ordeals and meltdowns, the different damage types, and the different abnormality classifications(ZAYIN, TETH, HE, WAW, and ALEPH.)

Ryota nodded, he scanned through the manual. There was a lot of information he had to read, but it was to guarantee his safety and life.
There were four(4) types of work or work preferences that an abnormality mostly wants, that might affect their mood:

Instinct: Sating basic instincts necessary for survival and happiness; Primarily, feeding and grooming the abnormality.

Insight: "Adjusting the environment to suit the Abnormality's needs". This includes temperature adjustment, ventilation, cleaning, or making the place messy if the Abnormality prefers that.

Attachment: This is essentially socializing with the Abnormality. I don't think this one needs an explanation: It's about communicating with them and trying to befriend them.

Repression: This is the one they overall know the least about. Instead of the rest, it involves actively depriving the abnormality of its needs or instincts, often (though not always) through violence.

Even though Molly had already stated she could tell him what Type of Work preference on what Abno he'll be working on. Ryota just had to make sure, so he wouldn't accidentally mess up. Molly made a popping noise as she took note of what Ryota was doing; Until a beeping noise rang out of his handbook, both of them took a look to see what it was:

'Do attachment work on [O-03-03]'

"Oh coolio, it's Skull Jesus."

"Huh-"

Molly gave Ryota a wink before patting him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Ryo. This one is one of the beginners-type abno' we mostly train newbies with, 'cause it's a Zayin... and because it doesn't give a fuck on what shit you do, and it doesn't do that much White damage to ya'."

Ryota inclined his head in agreement, his gaze fixed firmly on the screen as the conversation unfolded. Despite his efforts to concentrate on Molly's words, a lingering doubt gnawed at his mind, questioning his abilities. Together, they proceeded towards a secluded area, their steps echoing softly against the walls. Suddenly, Molly halted in her tracks, giving a reassuring thumbs up before unlocking the door with a determined gesture.

Ryota noticed a panel that displayed the four types of Work; since he began working here, he underwent hefty training for newbies. He was quite embarrassed about his 'physical training' but he knew he would have to get an ego weapon sooner or later in case of an ordeal. He took a deep breath and his fingers pressed on the words:
