"What did you say?"
On the screen, Hayato was in a dim cave, his eyes wide with disbelief: "You want S-413 to be de-listed as an Anomaly and join the Control Bureau? Lynette, you're not joking, are you?"
"Of course not. The proposal passed with all votes, with only two A-Class Employees raising objections." Lynette said with a smile, tapping her finger on the desktop, clearly very satisfied with the result.
"I must be hallucinating..." Hayato ripped off his glasses and haphazardly wiped them, a vein throbbing on his forehead: "You want an Anomaly with world-ending potential to join the Control Bureau?"
"First of all, Serie is not an Anomaly."
Lynette said calmly: "She not only passed the Cold Condensation Experiment, but when faced with your good students' encirclement, she was almost thrown into a concussion and didn't resist at all. You're telling me she's an Anomaly?"
"If you were an Anomaly, would you let a few humans bully you like that?" Lynette retorted.
"What else? If I were her, I wouldn't, and I wouldn't dare to resist, because this is the Control Bureau!"
Hayato waved his fists excitedly: "If it were me, let alone minor injuries, I'd even break a leg if it meant gaining trust! This is called strategy! That girl is terrifyingly cunning!"
"If it were just that, there would indeed still be suspicion, but she also passed the Cold Condensation Experiment."
Lynette twisted the knife for Hayato: "That's the key point. Whether judged by systematic experiments or by our experience as A-Class Employees, we unanimously believe that Serie is not an Anomaly."
"I..." Hayato looked like he was being choked, his face beet red, "I also want to know why that damn experiment failed on her!"
"I've said it many times, you cannot prejudge her."
Seeing that Hayato remained stubborn, Lynette's voice grew colder: "Have you never considered, if she really is an Anomaly, but wasn't a threat originally, yet was forced, slandered, and tortured by experiments by you again and again, pushing her to become an enemy of humanity?! Forcing her into a so-called world-ending threat?"
"I have, but I don't give a damn!"
Hayato's emotions were so agitated that the camera shook slightly: "Listen, I don't care if she wants to end the world herself, or if she's forced by me or someone else, I will eliminate her, and not gamble that she is actually inherently good-natured, just unlucky in who she met."
"No one can bear the cost of losing that gamble!"
Boom!
Just then, the signal on Hayato's end fluctuated. A loud bang came from deep within the cave, followed by a shrill scream.
Hayato turned sharply, then quickly turned back, speaking at an astonishing speed: "Dr. Lynette, I don't care if it's because you don't want to repeat your sister's tragedy, or for some other reason, I hope you can remain rational and stay away from her."
