**One Kick Girl — Chapter 193:
"Lessons Learned (Nothing Changes)"**
Corporate memory loss • Institutional amnesia • Raon vs the illusion of growth
1. The Workshop That Promises Wisdom
The invite arrived with inspirational clipart.
Subject:
Lessons Learned Workshop
Subtitle:
Turning Experience into Excellence
Raon stared.
"…I don't trust that font."
Shion nodded. "It's lying."
2. The Slide Everyone Pretends to Read
Slide one appeared.
Objectives
• Reflect
• Improve
• Optimize
Raon whispered, "Those are not lessons."
"They're aspirations," Shion replied. "Different species."
3. The Facilitator's Smile
"Today," the facilitator said cheerfully,
"we'll capture our learnings so we can apply them next time!"
Raon felt cold.
"…There will be a next time."
"Yes," Shion said. "That's the real lesson."
4. The Poll of Self-Deception
A poll launched.
What could we do better next time?
Options: – Communication
– Alignment
– Planning
– All of the above
Raon clicked "All of the above" with violence.
Everyone else did too.
The facilitator smiled.
"Great awareness!"
Raon screamed internally.
5. The Document of Eternal Draft
A shared doc opened.
Title:
Lessons_Learned_v1_DRAFT
Raon whispered, "Why v1."
Shion answered, "So it can become v12 without changing."
6. The Same Lessons Reappear
Bullet points appeared:
• Clarify scope early
• Align stakeholders
• Communicate more
Raon squinted.
"Didn't we write this last quarter?"
"And the quarter before," Shion said.
7. Raon's Breaking Question
Raon unmuted.
"So… who owns making sure this happens next time?"
Silence.
The facilitator blinked.
"…That's a great question."
Raon leaned forward.
"Is it assigned?"
More silence.
8. Shion Delivers the Truth (Softly)
Shion unmuted.
"Happy to capture an owner and deadline for each lesson."
The facilitator laughed nervously.
"Oh—we don't need to get that tactical."
Raon froze.
"…Then it's fake."
Shion nodded. "Correct."
9. The Workshop Ends, Nothing Moves
The call ended.
The document remained unchanged.
Raon slumped.
"We learned nothing."
Shion closed her laptop.
"We learned how they avoid learning."
10. The Final Email
Thanks everyone!
We'll reference this going forward.
Raon whispered.
"They won't."
Shion replied.
"They never do."
11. Raon's Realization
Raon looked at Shion.
"All these meetings… none of them fix anything."
Shion met her gaze.
"They're not designed to."
"…Then why do them?"
Shion smiled faintly.
"To look busy."
12. Post-Credit Shift
A new notification appeared.
Subject:
Strategy Reset
Raon stiffened.
"…Is that bad?"
Shion stood.
"That's the final phase."
