She's Fine Too, Thanks

[As Willis walks up and about, resuming his usual behavior, the other person who made a miraculous recovery is quietly sipping tea.
...Oh, she had a bit of squirming metal stabbed straight through her ankle, and somehow teleported twice during the battle. Nothing, really.]

Well Mistress, I would say that went well. No-one seems to have noticed your...indiscretion.



Y-yes, indeed...nobody at all...



...You can't seriously be upset...


But I tried so hard! I even let some of my many secrets slip, and dropped hints about my dark and mysterious past!
*sniff*
...I'm never going to be cool...

[She continues sobbing quietly into the tea.]

...She really said such a rude thing...?

When Sara introduced me as the Abyss Empress, yes. Or rather, talked about the possibility of that being the case.

Though for an enemy of humanity, you seem to be doing a good job protecting it from external threats.

[way_of_vengeance]

Well, what can I say? I like all the other people on this planet.

[empress_without_a_throne]

And I'm in the same boat there with you. At least on that one issue. Is that why you're with the Unity Group though in spite of the GHQ's reputation?

[way_of_vengeance]

Uhhhhhhh....

[Flashback time! Kanae stands in a GHQ office, near her superiors.]
"Hmmm...We should loan someone to the Unity Group, it'll make us look better."
"What about that crazy mass-murdering jap bitch? It'll keep her out of our hair."
"Sirs..."
"Hey, good idea! That way if she flips out again it won't be on us."
"Sir, I'm right here."
"Good! Then I don't have to tell you again. Lt. Ootori, pack your bags and get going."

[FLASHBACK OVER.]

...Yes. It's definitely that.
