morning sleepyhead
Aurora. Right. The orange-haired menace who'd somehow gotten herself classified as an ally after approximately forty minutes of conversation on a cliff. I stared at the message for a moment, then typed back.

The dots appeared. Disappeared. Appeared again. My phone buzzed with new messages.
we cleared ours in 25 min. 31 cores. S-rank
but it's alright
S-rank. On an E-rank gate. Jesus Christ. That was probably the fastest clear time in the entire batch of assessments. My fingers tightened around the phone. Aurora wasn't just ranked twenty-three. She was actually that good. The evidence was right there in black and white.
