[Those who wish to meet with the Junior Administrator-- well she's always on call.

Getting her off her phone on the other hand... is a bit more difficult.]

That... would relate to my secret.

And because I believe in the things I say-- then it's fine if you know the truth. But know that... Oswald can't know. Or I might not be able to help you anymore.

...because if he finds out who I am, then yes.

[donotlick]

That so. Your secret, huh.

[ He's not gonna ask. A girl a right to her secrets, especially if they're keeping her alive. ]

You're putting a whole hell of a lot of faith in this washed up shit of a cop, girl. What gives?

[newhire]

...no. If something happens to me, someone needs to know.

My real name is Vivienne Liranzo-Gallivan. And I'm here... to put a stop to what I couldn't before. And fight... against this ending the same way it did before.

[donotlick]

Ah. Now that makes sense.

[ WOW THANKS FOR THE BIG REVEAL, MEGUMI...... ]

So what's the other room that isn't monitored?

[newhire]

[Listen. It's fine.]

There's a room in the dormitory that's missing from the cameras. I don't know what's in there at all. Likely it belongs to either Professor Han or Oswald, neither people whom I'd trust in this situation.

[donotlick]

A mystery room. Great.

Alright, Oswald I get, but what's wrong with Han? He sure didn't seem to like Hale too much.

[newhire]

Mm. I'm still looking into it, but it won't be easy.

As for Han... I'm not sure. I don't want to distrust him, however... the truth is, he was probably hired by Oswald. And unlike Oswald, I don't know anything about his history. He's... a complete mystery. So... until I know better... I want to be cautious.

[donotlick]

Makes sense.

Anything else you can tell me?

[newhire]

Not much right now.

...I have a whole lot of work to redo... since Oswald decided to wipe my hard drives. But I'm going to keep working. If anything seems off... let me know.

Likewise, if I get news of anything that I think will help you guys... I'll pass it along. But it won't be long... he's going to try and get you to turn on each other. I have to... make sure no one snaps under the pressure...

[donotlick]

Right, guess I'll keep an eye out.

You mean more pressure than being kidnapped and told you're gonna take part in some bullshit friendship exam?

[newhire]

The assignments will start next week. You'll understand what I mean then. I can't tell you now what they'll be but they're designed to push the student's buttons.

[donotlick]

Push their buttons till they kill somebody, is that right?

[newhire]

...no. As much as I hate their methods, I know that the true goal is to find people that won't do that. Those who will resist every incentive.

[donotlick]

You know, "not willing to kill somebody" is a pretty low bar to set as far as enrollment criteria goes.
