CRACKLE, CRACKLE

You're still STUPID, as always.

What are you saying,

And why are you...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Still don't understand what's going on?

You, of all people, should know!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Didn't you just meet Lawine? That girl who pretended to attack me?

You saw her true form, right? That means she received the retreat order.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Ah, I forgot you're a good person.

Good people are generally not that smart.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

But no matter how stupid you are, you're still a PUS Investigator, right?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Use your little brain and THINK!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

H...how...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You're...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

...a member of The Scissors?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Then...then your Collapse Syndrome...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

HAH!

Of course that was an act!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

But your eyes...

They definitely had the Collapse Syndrome imprint!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You still trust that? That's just a simple change to a Strinovan's body.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Bu...!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

A Strinovan body isn't a real body.

Isn't it easy to just...change eye patterns?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Seems like I was successful.

That being said,

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The fact that my body is a fake and can be changed at will…It’s disgusting to think about!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You too.

I expose only a little bit of weakness, and you start talking to yourself and pretending to care about me, just like everyone else…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

What a shame, turns out you're just PUS's dog!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You...
What are you saying...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Didn't you also say that...your dad suffers from Collapse Syndrome?

It's self-inflicted.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

People will all become like this, and it's all PUS's fault!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

SHUT UP!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Oh? Wanna shoot me?

DO IT.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The moment you pull the trigger,

.

I'll use that girl over there as a meatshield.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

If you're fine with that, go ahead and shoot me.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Darn it...

What were you thinking...

Freya...!

.

.

.

.

Stop calling me Freya.

.

.

.

.

.

I am MING!

What am I thinking?

I'm thinking-

We are The Scissors,

And we’re going to completely destroy PUS’s trash Restoration Project!
