❝Close your eyes, don't see what's in front of you.❞

It seemed that their practice session was cut short before Elise could try putting Winter's suggestion into practice. Cynthia came, and with someone else too, the woman from before. Elise had a feeling they weren't family, Janet and Winter looked too different. Janet's features were severe while Winter looked soft, like a snowflake that could crumble if the wind blew on it too hard. Claude glanced at Winter's ankle for a brief moment and Elise made sure to hide behind Mr. Stuffles the entire time. "Don't worry, Winter, I'll make sure we pass the presentation." He said, seemingly not having an awkward bone in his body. "I'll tell the teacher you'll be available to present some time next week. Hopefully you don't fall too far behind in your studies."

After dinner with an unhappy Cunthia, Claude forced himself into Elise's room. "Wh-what are you doing? I wanted to enjoy my alone time now!" The former star snapped, glowering as her privacy was once again invaded. "We need to talk." Claude said, pulling out his holo phone. He brought up information, comparing Janet's car to that of the car the Chrysanthemum issued to it's agents on the field. "It's the same car, I knew it. But Winter's not a criminal or anything." He shook his head, frowning. "What are you scheming?" Elise narrowed her eyes, having a bad feeling. WAs Claude going to meddle in something that didn't concern them?

"Winter told me that she was in the terrorist attack four years ago, but was acquitted of all charges. I checked the obituary from the incident, and it shows Winter's family members. That means she must live alone in that building, since I could only find her name on the property registry website." Elise glared at him. Why was he going so far for what was effectively a stranger? "There's clearly something fishy going on here, Liss. The government is doing something illegal with her. I can contact someone, we can get legal representation for Winter because according to the Child Liberty Law, all minors are to have limited interference from the Government, and are supposed to be given homes with proper adult supervision and care." But Janet didn't classify as that, it seemed more like she was someone keeping tabs on Winter.

"Especially with how Janet called her Subject X..." Elise felt a chill run up her spine when that happened. Calling a child Subject? "Is that why her hands are so cold?" Claude thought to himself. As Elise pondered the possibilities, the rain clouds began to form again, a light drizzle gently tapping against the blinded window. "L-look, before getting yourself involved in anything dangerous, use your head a little." Elise sighed, she needed to stop this before Claude did anything he couldn't take back. "I'm just going to make sure that Winter's not being used for anything bad." Claude said with a reassuring smile that did nothing to reassure the natural skeptic, Elise.

Did he not understand the risk? "If the Government is really willing to do something like this, without fear of repercussion, that means there's a reason for it, a reason normal civilians can't know, Claude!" Some sort of loophole or special exception that would make whatever they were up to legal. "It's not our business. If she wasn't supposed to go out, she shouldn't have gone out." Claude grinned, nodding. "I see. Then I need to gather more information." He saved the security tapes, already starting to keep his information for safe keeping. Obviously the Von Hresvelg property had many cameras and each equipped with a powerful microphone. They recorded the entirety of Janet's encounter here, which would help provide them clues.

Claude also noticed the similar black vehicles gathered outside the property. No doubt this was backup in case Winter tried to fight back.

When morning came, Claude pointed to the virtual newspaper, the Chrysanthemum Howler. "Look, Liss, look at this?" Elise didn't want to, she barely wanted to be up for breakfast at all. "Gordon Grant, a paparazzi journalist working for the Howler wrote an article!" Elise knew all about Gordon Grant. He was one of the most persistent hunters of the mysterious Black Eagle after all. "I-I don't want to know." Elise stared into her crepes. "Miss Winter Matsuri, winner of the Chrysanthemum Music Competition, was escorted away by several Government vehicles from the Von Hresvelg Estate. Could the Government be up to something fishy?"

Elise sighed, despite Claude's excitement. "Isn't this great? What if we use Gordon and feed him information and have him investigate for us?" Elise shook her head, knowing that this was idiocy. "Th-they're going to silence him. A-at least it means h-he'll be out of my hair." Tabloids were one of Elise's worst enemies, so if the Government was going to take out Gordon Grant, the sooner the better, really.
