“Hey Michel.” Lloyd opens the door of the Crossbell Bracer Guild.

“Well, well-- if it isn’t the Special Support Section.” A built man with a feminine voice sits behind the counter when your group arrives.

“Sorry, I hope we’re not interrupting-- I know you guys are busy too right now. We just wanted to introduce you to our newest member.”

Michel looks at you intently, as if making a very careful judgment based on that short observation.

“I’ve heard about this one. Quite impressive, if the rumors are true. Well… you’ve been through a lot, so don’t worry. Looking forward to working with you.”

“Adalaide. But you can call me Ada. Likewise!” You bow your head respectfully, hands clasped tightly in front of you. It’s a bit overly formal, but you haven’t quite kicked the habit, despite several people having told you already that it’s unnecessary.

“...a sweet thing like that… goodness. What a sad world we’re living in.” Michel’s words are barely audible, but you know. Many have said similar things about your “situation”. You know they mean well, and yet it leaves you with this awkward feeling you can’t shake.

The only ones who didn’t were the S.S.S. which might be why you feel so attached to them. They don’t make a big deal of it, even though they probably have more right to do so than many, as your co-workers.
