>G2, R, and M to Bond with Velvet. Explore the topic of her past and try to use the information you've gleamed to figure out and help her.
"A therapist and a therapy dog, eh?" Employee M gently rubs the head of the corgi in her arms. Employee G2 nods. "Anomalies have their needs, miss."
The three enter the containment cell, suits on the two human employees
The anomaly is holding up a clump of ash. When the three employees get close enough, it tosses it away.
G2: Good afternoon, miss Yamazaki. How do you feel?
<span class="mu-r">Bright white flames blow out of the anomaly.
<span class="mu-b">But just as quickly, the flames are completely smothered. Leaving only embers.</span>
ANOMALY: Do I know you? It is Lady Yamazaki, cur. At least address me correctly.
Feeling safe, Employee R hops into the anomaly's lap. The anomaly begins petting the corgi.
M: Our apology, Lady Yamazaki. We're simply here to talk to you.
G2: We want to hear a bit about yourself. Could you tell us any details?
The anomaly doesn't respond at first but something seems to make it relax.
ANOMALY: 2105. Gemini, from those papers a friend talked about. Sweets are my favorite.
M: I do apologize but we meant something a bit more personal.
G2: Lord Yamazaki. How did he treat you?
A spark flicks off of the anomaly.
ANOMALY: He was a good man. He took me in when I was having a rough time. He was stern but fair.
ANOMALY: Befitting of the Yamazaki name, wouldn't you believe?
G2: Stern? How stern would you describe him? Any examples that you could give?
ANOMALY: Nothing serious. He would make sure my posture was always right and that I remembered to keep quiet!
M: During what? When he was busy with work? My husband wants some peace and quiet when he's working.
G2: We've heard rumors of a certain incident involving him.
<span class="mu-i">Shhh. Isn't being a Yamazaki more important? To have a legacy to your name?</span>
ANOMALY: Just...staying quiet. He got really mad when I dropped stuff but that was just me being clumsy.
G2: Did you have any friends you talked to?
ANOMALY: An old one, yes. The lord didn't want me talking to him. Said he was a bad influence.
ANOMALY: M-most of my friends were bad influences. And I believed him. They were all mudbloods.
<span class="mu-i">God damnit, Ren! Don't you remember me?</span>
M: Did your friend ever try to harm you?
G2: If he didn't, why was your husband so insistent on preventing contact?
ANOMALY: It. It was for my own good, you see?
G2: What was for your own good? I don't believe isolating you from friends is for your own good.
M: Are you sure he cared for you?
ANOMALY: He was Lord Yamazaki. Of course it was for my own good. I'm just a poor wr-
G2: You're not a poor wretch. A lady should hold the same status as the lord.
G2: Wouldn't it be degrading your status otherwise?
M: C'mon. Just tell us everything you can. We're here to help.
The conversation continues on.
Eventually, they leave. The anomaly is hugging itself, flames still smothered
ANOMALY: It wasn't like that, was it?</span>
