Agripuna first started the discussion by asking Elena and Tomoe if they had any questions for her. This was not any kind of interrogation or interview but a simple discussion, so getting permission from her before asking the questions was important. Only after Agripuna asked for the question, Elena started asking them.
The very first thing that she asked was about what Agripuna actually wanted to accomplish from this research. Creating a perfect being was a little vague as the concept of a perfect being was different to everyone. So Elena wanted to know what Agripuna's concept of perfection was ?
