========================================================================

An External Relations record that classifies an employee's attempt to
leave as an exception, and his remains as retained on site.

## The record

| Field | Entry |
|---|---|
| Subject | K. WATANABE / EMPLOYEE 4417 |
| Classification | DEPARTURE PROCEDURE / INTERNAL RESOLUTION |
| Remains | RETAINED ON SITE |
| Destination | FLOOR 14 · RESEARCH |
| Transfer status | RETAINED · REASSIGNED RESEARCH 14F |
| Lift authorisation | 4417[REDACTED] |
| Countersigned | 03:40 · T. MARLOW · ER-03 |

## Reading it

Departure is not a word Kokushi uses for leaving the building. In every
other file I hold, it means leaving the company.

Remains: retained on site reads like a body. Everything else on the page
reads like a promotion. The record does not say he died. It says he was
reassigned.

The lift authorisation was partly redacted before it reached me.
EX-ER-88 said facilities codes were "the number, then the floor."

## The letterhead

The page is on standard External Relations letterhead. Across the top,
in the same 1986 typeface as everything else, is a web address:

> KOKUSHI CORPORATION · WWW.KOKUSHICORPORATION.COM
<https://www.kokushicorporation.com/?ref=kokushicorp-er-4417-d>

In 1986 there was no web. Kokushi didn't register that domain until
decades later. I have checked the paper with a loupe: the line wasn't
added afterwards. It was printed with the rest.

## What it doesn't explain

If Watanabe was retained on 14 at 02:14, who did the household log
record coming home at 02:40?

The same reference, ER-4417-D, appears on the 02:11 transcript and in a
Personnel file that tells the reader to "consult External Relations".
Three departments, one file number.
