Rias left the question on her tablet while the room absorbed it.
[Is Elisebeth Hera's mystery man Emperoar?]
The post offered no answer. It did not need one to invite thousands of strangers to provide their own.
Elisebeth took the tablet before Rias could swipe again. The first image showed Martin beneath the catwalk lights, his face turned toward the stage during her dedication. The second came from a public Worldshell recording. Emperoar stood without a helmet while directing players through one of Forest Hidden's training grounds. Whoever had assembled the comparison had chosen nearly matching angles.
She enlarged Martin's concert image, then the screenshot beside it. "This does not reveal his name."
"It reveals the name above his character," Rias said. "That is all anyone has established so far."
