[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.

...Yes. Madame's methods are far from the best...but her intention is still to ensure that you are able to survive the battles you will face...and emerge victorious.
[Some of the trainees puff up their cheeks. Others fold their arms across their chest.]
"If you say so. It's still boring."
"And depressing."
"...You can't blame us after that whole speech about us being here to fight."

That would be Madame's specialty...
[One of the kids points at the screen.]
"They're killer speeches! You'll literally die from boredom and want to do something else!"
[Another ponders something.]
"Isn't that kinda the point? It does make us want to fight..."

I hope nobody got in trouble for falling asleep during one of those speeches? Because I get the feeling that happened.

"It's a cycle that only ends when she's done."
[Seta doesn't say anything, but her just looking away confirms that this is the case.]
