Just let me stay, for your own security.” Ulrich turns to you as he grabs a plastic chair to sit on. “Mr. Kobashi, do not feel uneasy, I’m already well-aware of what Vanessa has gone through. I’m one of the people who secured her safety, if anything, my own safety is at stake if Vanessa’s situation comes to light. It’s a delicate matter, you see?”
“You came here in case I needed to be incapacitated, didn’t you?” You know Vanessa has dealt with many shady individuals.

“U-Ulrich, don’t you ever think about hurting Kobashi!” Vanessa will stand up for you.
“This noisy fella is only here in case he’s thinking about hurting me!” Ulrich looks surprised he had to say something he felt was obvious.

“…I’ll explain.” Vanessa takes a deep breath.
