{{Dialogue|(The text from the dossier jumps up and down as I walk at a hurried pace, yet my attention is still caught by a few particular keywords.)|}}

{{Dialogue|(An unscrupulous individual decided to strike while the iron was hot. A whole batch of priceless jewelry was taken away under the cover of fire.)|}}

{{Dialogue|(Still, justice arrives with unusual swiftness when the rich and powerful are in need. The security department rushed to the scene, sealed off the area, and caught the unescaped suspect in one fell swoop.)|}}

{{Dialogue|Impossible. There must be some kind of mistake…|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|(Under the dim lighting, the red hair adorning the familiar photographed face looks as dull as the sun at dusk.)|}}

{{Dialogue|(I am certain that Faye isn’t the culprit. However, the clues in the dossier all make it unmistakably clear that she was on site.)|}}

{{Dialogue|(Her footprints were found on site. Evidence of her rummaging around the lost jewelry was also found, alongside the door lock broken apart by her actions.)|}}

{{Dialogue|(Those would have served as conclusive evidence if this were a regular theft case. The only thing stopping the security department from reaching any conclusions was the fact that no stolen jewelry was found on her person.)|}}

{{Dialogue|(This gives me room to step in before Faye turns from “suspect” to “criminal”.)|}}

{{Dialogue|(I open the door to the visiting room, and finally see her.)|}}

{{Dialogue|(I’ve finally witnessed something more fiery than her hair today—the fury in her eyes.)|}}

{{Dialogue|Why are they even arresting me?! I didn’t steal anything!|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|(Save people? That explains it; this does sound like something Faye would do.)|}}

{{Dialogue|Don’t get too worked up yet. Could you tell me what happened?|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|(Faye sits down with her cheeks puffed up in anger. I can still hear the gnashing of her teeth despite the layer of glass separating us.)|}}

{{Dialogue|I was just walking through the street as per normal. And as per normal, I passed by that extravagant eyesore of a mansion and saw something that made it even more conspicuous: a plume of black smoke.|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|A fire was definitely starting in there, so I rushed in due to the urgency of the situation.|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|Turns out the fire had already started spreading. Luckily, the mansion was relatively empty—just two servants keeping watch on the property.|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|I spent quite a bit of effort getting them out. The next thing I knew, the security department turned up before the ambulance!|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|They arrested me without getting the full story! They said that I stole the jewelry and asked me about its whereabouts!|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|Hmph! Why would I give a crap about some stupid rocks?!|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|You must have left quite a number of footprints behind because you rushed in to save them.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|You broke those door locks while you were trying to do that, right?|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|Yeah. Rich people have some really complicated houses.|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|The servants were calling for help, but I couldn’t pinpoint their locations without busting open the doors!|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|They said that you left evidence of yourself “rummaging through the cabinets and shelves”.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|I was trying to find something that could fight the fire!|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|They didn’t have a SINGLE fire extinguisher throughout that whole fat mansion of theirs!|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|Erm, so, have you explained all this to the people from the security department?|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|Some things are going to be displaced during a search and rescue. What’s so hard to understand about that?|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|(True. I should be thanking my lucky stars that Faye’s communication skills didn’t land her in deeper misunderstandings.)|}}

{{Dialogue|Faye, things aren’t looking good for you right now due to the available onsite evidence.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|You’re the only suspect in the security department’s hands right now. They’re not going to give up before the jewelry is found.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|(Faye suddenly grows agitatied, seemingly sensitive to the fact that I used the word “suspect” while referring to her.)|}}

{{Dialogue|I know that you are innocent, because I have absolute trust in your actions.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|I firmly believe that you did not steal from the mansion, that you only had the desire to save others when you stepped into the fire.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|Sadly, the fact that I trust you is not something that can convince the security department to let you go.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|Stubborn indeed. It’s hard to make them let go once they set their minds on something.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|If we want to clear your name, we must put irrefutable evidence on the table.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|Our only way out of this mess is to take back the jewelry and capture the real culprit.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|Take back the jewelry and capture the real culprit…|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|I am in agreement that this is the best option, but… are we too late?|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|The security department couldn’t even catch the right person back then, so why should we trust them to do it now?!|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|Worry not, we don’t have to count on THEM.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|Monsoon Squad has already started investigating satellite city POL-05’s personnel and material movements.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|I’m providing them with assistance to help narrow down our search area.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|We’ll definitely arrest the real culprit and clear your name!|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|(Faye’s eyes light up with hope for a moment before it fades.)|}}

{{Dialogue|But… no progress for now, right? There are a lot of people here, after all.|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|Yeah… We still need more time before we can achieve any results.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|We’ll sadly have to trouble you with the burden of being labelled a “suspect” until then.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|(The visiting room falls into a brief period of silence. The reality of the situation is sinking in for us—)|}}

{{Dialogue|(Faye will be imprisoned here as a suspect for an unknown period of time.)|}}

{{Dialogue|(Faye visibly droops in dejection. Even her tone has weakened considerably.)|}}

{{Dialogue|(I’ve never seen her looking so demoralized before.)|}}

{{Dialogue|Faye… I’m so sorry. There’s no way for me to secure your immediate release.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|It’s alright, Commander. You’ve already done a lot for me.|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|I’m just kinda miffed about the fact that… Here I am, imprisoned for trying to save people, while the actual thief gets to walk away scot-free.|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|All that evidence was found to prove my guilt, but none of them was willing to find proof that I was just trying to save people.|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|Perhaps for them, but they’re more willing to accept the existence of a thief who risks death for profit, than a humanitarian who risks their life for the sake of others.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|Humanity bestowed upon me the instinct to help others, so why this refusal to acknowledge my life-saving actions…?|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|I… the more I think about it, the less I understand…|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|No matter what others in society may think, rest assured that I have always endorsed your actions, and will continue to do so.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|If you weren’t there to rescue the two servants, the blaze would have claimed their lives, their deaths overshadowed by news of the theft.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|We are lucky that you were there to save them, Faye. I’m proud of what you did.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|You’re really good at reassuring people, Commander.|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|Thank you. Thanks for visiting me and telling me all this…|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|This time, I’m the one who has caused you trouble…|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|Not at all. The one with that honor would be the thief.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|Once we catch them, we’ll give them a real good thrashing!|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|(Faye is silent for a moment. She lowers her head, unease clouding her face.)|}}

{{Dialogue|I’ve always been the one saving others, but now, I’m the one who needs saving…|Faye}}

{{Dialogue|You did nothing wrong, so you just have to wait here patiently.|Commander}}

{{Dialogue|(Faye looks up at me, surprise flashing across her eyes.)|}}

{{Dialogue|(This marks the end of our visitation timeslot. I get up to leave the room.)|}}

{{Dialogue|(The entire time, Faye’s gaze follows each and every one of my movements.)|}}
