I mentioned it when we sent you on that hunt. Nova's attracted to people and strong emotions. [ like. briefly. ] So you'd already gathered nova through other means, even if we weren't sure what those were yet. We still aren't fully, but nova was collected during that mess on Saturday.
I believe it was mentioned that, um... what happened to Miss Hajime and the others was bad for our task. Was... the nova collected in that mess enough to make up for that?
[or are they still in a theoretical deficit here.]
Not as far as I know. They're meant as guidelines to help the general flow of the competition from the Realm. The initial ones we had some input, but the ones about killing are a direct result of what happened this weekend, since that set a precedent. The last one is...

no subject
[ they shrug. although... ]

[Judging by the rankings, anyway.
"Well", aside from the murder!!]
no subject
Competition wise, yeah. But that can change at any time.
no subject
... This... um, it probably is a question you do not want to answer, and if so, I do respect that, but...
Was Virid one of our team?

Um, I only had one more question. Was it all of you who wrote the new rules...?

[Or, at least, the Realm thought so.
She clears her throat... and nods.]
Thank you for your patience. It was honestly a pleasure to speak with you, Mist-- er, that is, Wolf. I believe I understand better now.
no subject
[ they tilt their head but nod ]
If you need anything else, just ask. It's my job. I'm not here to judge.
no subject
To be honest, I am sure of nothing. But... this is what I believe.
And if I have more questions, I will be sure to come to you. Thank you, Wolf... I appreciate all of your assistance.
[BUT SHE WILL LEAVE HIM BE NOW... for now]
