It is my understanding that we were gathered to function as a team. A concept that is, perhaps, difficult for many of us to become accustomed to, but a path we have had no choice but to take in any case.

Yet here we are, already faced with danger enough from our missions, and we are equally forced to fear one of our own as well?

Explain to me why we should endure the presence of a monster who cannot keep his nature in check. How many were injured by Koltira's hand, yet all of us remain silent.

[At first, Nyuu is filled with an overwhelming sense of dread and despair. She'd been found out before she could come to understand Lucy and explain her problem to the rest of the crew... People were going to avoid her now; people were going to be afraid of her; she would---Oh, huh?

Nyuu was certain that Lucy was the subject of this broadcast until she heard Koltira's name.]

More people were involved? [She's very surprised and realizes that, which is why she soon follows up with:] I-I'm sorry about asking, but I cannot remember what has happened ever since the earthquake.

[She never knew other people were hurt as well.]

[whatshimadayou]

There were several, yes.

What do you mean that you cannot remember?

[scarredhorns]

It's difficult to explain and to be honest, I don't really understand why myself. I can't even recall how I was injured, but we were thinking that Koltira-san might be involved.

Whether or not he was, though, I don't believe him to be evil. Dangerous, yes, but not evil. I saw what he's capable of on the train, but he also saved my life. [Normally, Nyuu spoke with a gentle voice, but this time she takes a staunch approach of what she says.]

I'll agree that everyone should be made aware of the situation, but I think... Koltira-san might not be able to control whatever it was that made him do what he did. He's not a monster.

[If it was indeed true that he couldn't control it, then Nyuu could definitely relate; it was the same with her and Lucy, which is why she tries to defend him, despite her injuries.]

[whatshimadayou]

...Then your perspective is clear enough.

Perhaps he is not evil. Dangerous, certainly so; most of us are. But for him, as I understand it, he cannot control what he is. Which leaves us with few choices.

[scarredhorns]

I know it's already been said by others, but if Koltira-san has come out of whatever trance he was in, perhaps we could settle this with nonviolent means? We have so many people here with different talents, so I'm sure we can come up with something.

[She sounds very optimistic.]

[whatshimadayou]

The perpetual suggestion. One I am not keen on, but if there is an actual proposition to be had other than a vague idea, I will accept it.

[scarredhorns]

I wish I could offer something more concrete, but I don't know Koltira-san well enough yet, so I can't come up with an explanation for his actions. Should we decide to talk with him, though, I will volunteer to explain the situation to him, or be one of the people who does if we send a group.

There are some things I wish to say to him anyway.
