And no, I am not trying to research it. We simply needed a way to make sure your microphone could not activate while you are here, just like how most of your other peers are unable to use their abilities.
I would certainly try to look into it if I had time, but it's in your hands now, so there won't be an opportunity to do so.

You are quite honest, aren't you? It is hardly a bad thing, of course. For every liar, there must be someone with honesty and integrity to balance them out. I believe you are that person. A saint among those who spin falsehoods with great abandon.
... Well, that was a lie. Honest you may be, but you are far from a saint. I am certain you won't argue with that, hm? You and I are alike in that regard, I believe. We do not deny how rotten we are, deep down in our very souls.
While my microphone is in my possession now, I am less than comforted. Is there anything stopping you from bringing someone else from the divisions to you and stripping them of their microphones? Please answer honestly, Lorelei-san. My curiosity will soon overtake me if you do not.

I can no longer claim that I am a saint, you're right about that. Unfortunately, sometimes, sacrifices must be made, even when it comes at the expense of one's own humanity – I've come to accept that a long time ago. That is why it doesn't bother me all that much when people come to me with all of their ire.
As for your question, technically, I suppose not. But I'm not interested in what they have to offer at the moment, so I have no plans to bring them here. I make no promises, but this is me being honest. If you're worried about your friends, don't be.

[ ... anyway. Gentaro sees where she's coming from, which is disconcerting in of itself. Losing one's humanity to accomplish something... he understands.
I can't even guess myself what it must be to live the life of a human being. ]
I am well-versed in the art of sacrifice. Both you and I have goals we would like to accomplish at any cost. I cannot say I will ever be fond of you, but I do admire the grace with which you accept our ire.
Not interested in what they have to offer, hm...? Out of everyone, I was the one plucked from Tokyo. It has been on my mind, you know. I have lost countless hours of sleep as I lay in bed at night, wondering why you chose me.
As for my friends... I cannot think of a single moment in which I was not worried. Your reassurance is appreciated, but I am sure you understand.

If you're asking why I chose you, it's because you are far more closed off than most of your friends back at home. Shrouded in mystery and intrigue with a desire to one day be vulnerable around the people you want to trust... And who better than Bennett to draw that out of you? Someone who doesn't know you or what you've been through, someone so unspeakably earnest. It is quite an interesting matchup, that's for sure.
no subject
I suppose that makes sense. Had you brought someone like Yamada Ichiro or Dice here, I imagine they would take this all in stride. Had I been in your position, I imagine I would choose someone like myself. And as for Bennett... I won't deny that it has been quite the match.
For curiosity's sake, if I may ask, were there any others you considered bringing here?

On the contrary, I'd quite like to see Mr. Hardcore here. He would make things interesting, you know. And isn't it a good thing to add in an unpredictable variable? A wildcard, so to speak.
