He was trying to keep my cover from being blown. If they thought I was still a diplomat being taken hostage by a-- clown, maybe they'd let us escape to the airship unscathed.

I know this was a shitty experience for you, and it sucks you were all so injured, but you need to understand how much mira I would pay to see Claude in a clown costume trying to fake take you hostage in way less life-threatening circumstances.
Anyway, once we got the airship fired up, Sakyou just. . . reappeared on it, like nothing happened. We were on our way to some ruins, as per the stupid voice's command, but another airship was hot on our tail.
So, physical assault, emotional torture, clown suits -- and at the end you got some information. Looks like they want you to earn what they give you at the very least?
[ hm. ]
And then you come straight back here afterwards. Which is... I guess it makes sense but it seems like A Choice.
Like... an interesting choice, kind of a shitty one. It's putting people through the wringer, then patting you on the back, handing you your lunchbox of new information and dumping you back where you started.

It started shooting at us.

So... teleportation, and gunfire. What else?

I passed out, so I'm not sure what happened next, but when I woke up again Claude was talking about "fake people" or whatever.

There was a ruined building, with people from-- from here, holding our friends from home hostage.
I stopped time so we could free the hostages. But after that--

After that...?

I think they were killed. For failing the test.

After that, I guess. . . we passed. Some guy in a gray hood gave us those applications for Chad and Viola, along with the map piece.
And then we were back on school grounds.

Almost like the whole thing was just for-- you know. Someone else's entertainment.
