The Traitor's Links
Thank you for your assistance. You and your party were quite helpful, finally taking out that little…. ah, ‘bully’. (...Let his fate be a reminder to what happens to those who break the rules.)
She.
She has a lot to think about.
(I made my choice.)
Be careful where you stick your greedy hands, little thief. Under different circumstances, you might've gotten a little bit more than merely a warning... But no, you weren't his focus this time. You did what you were meant to and played your part- quite well, in fact. For that, thank you.
Haha. Discomfort.
… that’s not something he can say quite yet. The stage has yet to be set, good and proper. But you can collect what remains of Lucian. That one’s run out of luck.
Who are you? What part do you have in all this?
For the garden. (I'm better than the rest of them! I can still be useful! Ha, they wouldn't discard me--)
For the heavens. (Both a liability and failure, in the end.)
Why the long face? You made the right choice. Now, you and I… we have some work to do.
Fine. Y-you wanted to- deal? I- I accept your offer. Please. Just… make sure the kid is safe.
Ohoho- this kid is so, SO unbelievably lucky. If Judas had it his way, the little spat wouldn’t be walking out of this at all. But orders are orders. Whatever. Strix can go ferry him to hell for all he cares.

The stage has been set. You can finally have the revenge you’ve wanted… as long as you don’t forget the rules.
The fourth case, this time forcibly brought to the agency. As the Perennial Spring festival draws near, efforts from both sides have only intensified. Three more caught entangled in brilliant red ribbon- and three who ended up taking the fall. Someone out there is keen on having your journey come to an end.
"... what is it that they're so desperate to keep hidden? How many more will be lost before this is brought to an end?"
It's already far too late to start to having regrets. You've made your choice, haven't you? Failure is something that will not be tolerated.
He thought he’d just be doing an errand, not- breaking into a train! Not fighting his sister!!! god what if he accidentally blows a hole in the train or in his sister or her friends or-
He’ll just, try and pull his punches, m-maybe that will be enough. He should have known better, to read the terms and conditions before making any deal-
