......

Why are you spacing out like that?!

We are on an important mission to defend the Holy Emperor, remember?

Stay focused!

......

Diana? Has...something happened with Quaid?

Huh?! What, what do you mean?

Nothing, I just noticed you were being a bit more strict than usual on him.

R-Really? I don't...think anything has changed...

Well, I mean, you've always been strict...

...but ever since we separated from Fadahl and the others, and after you spoke with Claire...

...you've become a whole new level of strict.

I-It's just your imagination!

Plus, this is a very important mission. Making sure we stay focused goes without saying.

Well, I guess I can't argue with that...

Hey, Quaid! Are you listening?!

Shhh...be quiet. I thought I felt a familiar presence.

You two, prepare for battle! Shusui is coming!

I am the War Demon Shusui.

I have come to test your might. I have no time for...pathetic weaklings!!

Well, well... You knew I was coming, did you?

Well, we have fought against you several times by now.

Quaid, that's amazing!

So you weren't just spacing out...

We can talk later! Here he comes!
