Michele... Thank you,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
If you hadn’t rescued me,
I…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
No need to thank me,
What matters is that you’re OK.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…I’d never have thought she’d take action this fast.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Hmm…
.
.
.
.
.
I thought she’d be a bit more cunning, chipping you down slowly.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I never would’ve thought she’d be this direct.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Regardless of whether it was her way of challenging me or her fighting methodology,
It’s all…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
So focused…
And so calculating…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I see…
Seems like we underestimated her.
.
.
.

.

Clunk

The analysis report is here.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Then,
Maddelena’s body, is she all right…?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…Maddelena suffered from two kinds of damage.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The first are the bullet wounds sustained from mid-combat exercise,
But the other kind…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Is the kind used on late-stage Collapse Syndrome patients -
Reverse-String weapon damage.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
HOW!?
How come there was a battle that–
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Reverse-string weaponry is definitely disabled in combat arenas.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
This is like a fighting competition; even though there is no explicitly written rule, all participants by default “shall not kill their opponents.” This is common knowledge in Strinova.
“Use of reverse-string weapons is forbidden” is also a default rule in simulated combat.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And yet she dared to brazenly-
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Wait a sec,
This “she” you’re referring to is…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Maddelena…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Apologies, Michele. If Maddelena is unwilling to say it, I cannot disclose the assailant’s identity.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
But the assailant’s behavior has definitely crossed the line, so she can be kicked out of the assessment.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…really…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…turns out I couldn’t ask Maddelena.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Regardless of whether it was yesterday’s matter,
.
.
.
.
.
Or today’s situation…i
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
it all happened so suddenly, and I’m utterly confused.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
But just now, those two said they felt that Maddelena was being targeted…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Could it be…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Was Maddalena targeted? Just like Audrey was?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Did Alaya target her?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And… Freya also said
that she saw Maddelena and Alaya together in the reference room.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
What was up with that?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Sigh…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
If the rules can’t solve every problem…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…what is considered a violation of the rules?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Taking advantage of loopholes, resorting to dirty tricks to win…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
This-
Is a moral grey area.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Is this right or wrong?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
As for me…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Am I really in a position to judge right from wrong…?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.

It seems we’ve encountered someone…
That uses reverse-string weaponry in the middle of simulated battles…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Being unscrupulous and ruthless are important qualities that Blue Parasol members should possess.
However…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
This isn’t entirely 100% accurate.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
In order to accurately grasp the candidates’ various qualities,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I was planning on turning a blind eye to certain rule violations.
But…this behavior has crossed the line.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
She has to be disqualified.
.

What a pity, Fuchsia.
