Luke: Here’s the results of the test Jude ran.
Jade: ...Hm. There don’t seem to be any problems. The separation of seventh fonons has halted here completely, and there don’t appear to be any adverse effects.
Luke: ...Sorry. I keep having you guys check things for me.
Jade: Please tell that to Jude. He’s also helping to keep this secret, after all.
Raine: ...Hello? It’s Raine. Could I have a moment of your time?
Jade: My, how rare. Please, come in.
Raine: Oh, I see Luke’s here, too.
Luke: Oh, uh... yeah.
Jade: Do you intend to lecture me again?
Raine: I don’t have so much free time as to scold a man over thirty. In any case, Jade. Isn’t there something missing from the nexus list?
Jade: Something missing... you say?
Raine: The person who Dist hopes to exoflect isn’t on this list.
Luke: !!!
Jade: ...Ah, just hearing you say that is quite shocking.
Raine: So you did omit the name intentionally.
Jade: My apologies. At the very least, I don’t believe that Dist will succeed in summoning that person, and I will make sure that doesn’t happen.
Raine: ...This sounds like quite the complex situation.
I don’t mean to pry, but when Chester had his mind scanned via the Anima Search, he exoflected Ami.
So you do realize that the possibility of this happening again isn’t zero, correct?
Jade: ...It’s just as you say.
Raine: Luke. You know that person, don’t you?
Luke: N–not at all...
Raine: Heh... how naughty of you, telling lies.
But I’ll play along for today. In the meantime, please make sure to discuss this matter with your comrades and resolve things properly before adding the name to the list.
Jade: You really are a terrible liar...
Luke: Y–yeah, so what? But what are we gonna do? That’s, um, Professor Nebilim, right? Are you really that sure that Dist won’t exoflect her?
Jade: What Dist and I wanted to resurrect was our professor, who specifically had the memory of being killed. Anything before that is meaningless.
It is something that can never be achieved through exoflection. If she were exoflected with the memory of her death, it would only mean that she would die the moment that she was created.
Luke: ......
Jade: ...But I will discuss it eventually—my naïve actions, that is.
Luke: I’m... naïve, too, so I get how you feel. If only I could do it all over...
Jade: Don’t be stupid. What good will come of you crying? ...But I suppose I should be appreciative of your sympathies.
...Thank you, Luke.
