I look around when someone starts screaming Genta's name, standing up quickly. I recognize the man approaching, and I can guess, by Genta's reaction, that this is the self-same former Vaglass agent that Genta had just now claimed to have rescued.

I'm about to shove my sleeve up to get at my Brace, but then Genta grips my shoulder and I remember that there's such a thing as a secret identity when one is undercover.

Instead I grip Genta's wrist gently before removing his hand from my shoulder and moving to stand in front of him.

I don't want to doubt that he succeeded in rescuing his... lover, I assume. But Messiah isn't to be toyed with. There's a possibility he's been lost again.
