[There has certainly been a lot of chaos as of late. But the brief respite that follows also comes with a video call from a familiar face.]
Ah, hello...?
...Can...anyone hear me?
[Seta waves awkwardly at the camera while you are walking by a terminal or checking your phone. She isn't alone, though - behind her are a handful of curious looking human-shaped figures, both male and female, whose real identities are betrayed by their glowing eyes staring at the lens. They say nothing, and the dim lighting in the room doesn't help much.
Still, the former UG member smiles on the screen.]
If you can see this...how is everyone faring?
It has been weeks now...I am doing fine. And...I hope it is the same for all of you.

[Some of the people in the background are excited by this.]
"You hear that? She called us 'coworkers'!"
"We're totally gonna be agents soon!"
[As they inch closer to crowd around the screen, it becomes clear that they aren't really all that menacing or spooky. In fact, most of them appear to be around Flit or Volya's age, along with a girl who looks no older than twelve.
Seta tries to stay focused on Kei, though.]
...They are our trainees. For the time being, my duty is to care for them.

[Suddenly, one of the girls rests her chin on Seta's head.]
"Hey! We behave when Seta's babysitting us!"
[And another goes for a thinking pose.]
"Well, when it's Madame, we don't get to do ANYTHING. But if it's Seta, we can do whatever we want!"
Ah...that may not necessarily be a good thing...

"It's your teeth! Hide your teeth, Mary!"
"...But...I didn't even show them..."
It is because...you are all making her uncomfortable.
[And with an 'oh' uttered in unison, the trainees go quiet. They're still staring at the screen with a variety of expressions, however.
Meanwhile, Seta waves to get Kei's attention.]
I am sorry. This happens very often...
There is something I do wish to ask...
