You're serious? You're asking me to help a criminal. I'm asking you to help me.

She cut your head off. She cut your hand off. If they had the choice, my cell wouldn't want to go through that fight again. I know that. But this is why they made me their leader–to make the hard choices that they can't make themselves–this is the duty they've entrusted me with.

One day, I'm gonna take care of the people who took care of me. There's nothing more important than that! Debts owed, debts paid. You get it?

'I wish I could turn back time.' Every person on Earth has thought that at some point. And now, that powerful, world-altering ability… has been placed in the hands of me. Sayeon Lee. A totally unqualified nobody.

Though, I see that your mentor has written here…that, in all this time, Trainee Ryujin Kang has not used her gift even once. Hm. Let's see how long that can last.

Whatever. I’m pretty sure they only promoted me to level Seven ‘cos they want to replace the one that got killed a few days ago.

Ah… There’s nothing quite like standing on the roof after a good rain, is there?

You. Tell me why you were late. I didn’t run fast enough. I’ll do better next time.

Can’t I use that… to deceive the other team? I just have to set up a certain assumption.

Hey, Crow. That's the second car you've wrecked. Won't you get in trouble for that? Naaah. I didn't wreck that car, silly. You did!

Wow–I wasn't expecting an old ahjussi. Sly old fox.

Amazing… Now *that* was a proper fight. A true opponent. You actually beat me!

I sense an aberrant.

You trust this girl. Why deny her the truth? Your dishonesty is displeasing to the eyes.

The guy is totally hopeless. Still… It’s nice to have someone like this. Someone who… really believes in me.

This aberrant's first priority is the boy's safety–she won't go after Iseul if he runs. But that isn't the only reason why I sent him away. I didn't want him to interfere with my next move.

Getting elected leader got to your head already? Just you wait. Taking responsibility for your cell is *not* a fun task. If one of your team members gets put down like a sick ol' dog… guess whose head that's on?

Sorry, am I wrong? A 20% survival rate for corps trainees… My father did warn me of that–to scare me, I assumed. But if this is the skill level the other trainees are at… It’s a wonder that the survival rate is so high.

The Corps are watching me, y’know that? Just *waiting* for me to fuck up. So let’s not tell Juni about all this, huh? Assigning the Head of Security to our cell.. Instructor Sang must think she’s real funny. They’re gonna pay for this.

She really came for me. I mean, I was–I was sort of counting on it, but… Towards the end there, I really thought… that I had miscalculated. That she'd left me all alone. I'm so relieved I could die.

What the *hell*, Glasses? Shit, what's with all the blood? Are you fucking dying?
