Hm... I can't recall ever experiencing such an event, myself.
[This answer was of course, complete bullshit. Menacing phonecalls were practically a cornerstone of Tonegawa's average work week. Something he could set his watch to. The only reason this particular menacing call stuck out in his mind is that it didn't come from the chairman of the company, and perhaps because of that, its instructions were concise and definite. He saw no reason to disobey orders from this invisible authority, especially not ones so neatly laid out for him.]
[Which is why he restrained himself from acknowledging his wardrobe. Tonegawa was not particularly blessed in this regard, either (tweed was a material meant not for hot, arid climates), but to acknowledge this shared suffering might lay the foundation of solidarity between the two strangers, which of course, was utterly unpermissable.]
...however, judging by your own attitude, whatever "faux-threat" you received must not have been too severe if the most pressing concern weighing on your mind is your current state of dress. [He gives a wry, condescending smirk.]
[...and begins tugging at his collar, desperately hoping that pure spite and determination will be enough to keep the heatstroke at bay.]
