Oh but we can't do this when translating Japanese, high school students don't talk to each other like that! The English language when used properly definitely doesn't have strict hierarchical language and tone, and Anglophones definitely don't code-switch based on context and adjust their grammar and vocabulary according to the context. That's just a weird Japanese thing we need to erase!
