Pain Management
[1]
[Locked to Felicita.]
White Chalice is close to the Orsini Industries lab. There's a call just for you, on the live video feed - and guess what, it's your mother!
[2]
White Chalice received a huge data packet, sent over a secure line.
Its contents: engineering data related to construction of PEX-001 Deva. No more blackboxes and information classified by the VIPs, now you have access to it all. Of interest is the description of the Putri System:
On itself, it does not cause the terrible side effects that Felicita suffers from each time she is piloting. No, this is because of the mixture of drugs and other chemicals she takes during combat. However, Putri System overloads the pilot's senses and may quickly cause long-term insanity and dementia. The drugs, unpleasant as they may be, are administered to prevent that.
As of the moment, they have run really low. And the only way to restock them goes up in flames...
Moments later, all communication with the Orsini Industries science facility is lost. It turns out there has been an explosion. Its causes - unknown, since the facility was not supposed to be operative at that moment.
There are few confirmed casualties. Colomba Arlotti, Felicita Arlotti's mother, is among them.

Confront Felicita about this? Needless to say, the girl is very distressed at the moment. Crying her heart out... the pretense of staying strong in the face of all hardships she had to endure, all gone.

He pours out a glass of cool water from a pitcher and holds it out to her.
"It is not because you deserved it, Felicita Arlotti. Believe that, if nothing else. Our world would be a far different place, if the people in it received what they deserved."

I know...
I know because of what always happens to me! How is this supposed... to help...

"It was not meant to help... my words cannot take away the anger and sorrow you feel." Matthew says at last, choosing his words with care.
"How could a single word from my lips wipe away the pain you've experienced in your life? It would be insulting to even try."
He clenches his teeth.
"But I cannot stand even the thought, the possibility of you coming to blame yourself for the cruelties the universe has forced on you. So if my words can keep more pain from being added to the burden you bear, then I will speak them."

[Felicita exploded in a burst of anger.]
It's everybody else's fault!
no subject
"Aff." He says. "Tell me more about how we failed you."

[In response to that, Felicita is stubbornly silent.]

Matthew had hoped to coax her out of her despair by appealing to her anger...
...but now he sees how farcical such an attempt at therapeutic manipulation would be.
"I'm sorry, Felicita." He says softly, starring at the ground. "I just wanted to understand..."
