When I said I was looking forward to Vesper re-debuting with a new model, this wasn't what I meant...What did Vesper do?
Anyways, in the absence of more info, I'm 100% on the side that it was some middleman acting like a sped (ie the average Japanese businessman) who got told to back off one too many times and went crying to the higher ups about the "inappropriate language" and "repeated disrespect", and got his way because while they're not right they are in charge. Vesper's older and more secure in his autonomy through experience of working in other places, I can absolutely believe there being a culture clash for him where the younger talents would go with the flow due to having little to compare their experiences with.
