>>104929662The most likely scenario is that it's apprehension on cover's part and niji actually doesn't care enough to check or cause a stink.
Either that or the stars campaigned hard because people like Altare and Axel forced their hand. Probably would've looked bad if the rest of vanguard left out of defense for their friend.
Ironically, if they DID leave at that time for specifically that reason, I wonder if they'd have been better off. It would've been a lot more eyes on them, while the starsEN branch would likely have had irreparable damage done to it in this scenario.
(Keeping someone from helping/defending their friend after a suicide just for corporate politics? Definitely a bad look)
