"Well then, the treatment officially begins... Mokuyama, are you okay?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Mokuyama Haruo nodded vigorously.
"No problem, Mr. Fang Zheng, leave it to me."
"Alright, let's start."
Fang Zheng didn't waste words, making the decision directly. Mokuyama Haruo took a deep breath, then walked to the console. Everything was ready; she just needed to hit Enter...
Yet, at the moment Mokuyama Haruo reached out her hand, a nightmare from years ago resurfaced in her mind.
Everything that happened back then... it felt like it was just yesterday.
"...??"
Seeing Mokuyama Haruo maintaining the position with no response, Misaka Mikoto and Hainara Kuon exchanged puzzled glances, not knowing what was happening. Fang Zheng sat on the chair next to them and pressed the microphone for communication.
"Mokuyama, ten-second countdown. If you don't act, I'll do it."
"Huh? Ah...!"
