The thoughts she had about AI500 made her feel extremely unsettled as well.

"...since you asked me a question, I'll ask one back to you." Cecil spoke up awkwardly, lifting her head up.

Cecil widened her eyes, looking at Rugi in the eyes. "Bu-but why? Your injury isn't as serious compared and you could easily get--"
