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.

Mother...?

Mother! Is it really you? It has been so long...

[There are things Neptune is just bad at, and then there are things she's hopeless at too. This situation is the latter. It doesn't help that the mission she was on didn't go all that well either.]

Um...

[She's already got tears of her own welling up, but still tries to keep herself composed. That of course means she can't bring herself to say much. She does approach though...]

[Josh is looking over all the information... and you know what? He's not even halfway through it when his fist hits a wall.]

What the hell?!?

And someone was intending to mass produce that deathtrap?!?

Matthew has no idea what having a mother figure–much less one who killed herself in front of you–is like.

As a result, every comforting word and statement he comes up with sounds hollow in his head.

So he decides to come in, sit next to Felicita's bed, and simply be there, waiting for her to talk when she's ready.

[...Richard stares blankly at Felicita a few seconds, standing at the door. This was not a good week, it seemed...]

Hey...

[And despite any protests she might have, Richard is gonna make his way inside and... lightly, gently, hug the poor girl.]

I'm sorry... I'm so sorry.

Do you... Want to talk to anyone?

Oenone puts her arms around her patient and offers her shoulder to cry on. She'll analyze the situation later. Right now, Felicita's just a girl who lost her mother.

[The last person anyone would have expected to turn up was now standing by Felicita's bed. The look on his face betrayed no real emotion really...]

So this is it then.

[He's giving her a mild look.]

Your life is over. Just like that?

[There was something almost annoyed in his tone.]
