The accommodation provided by “West Cliff Rita” is a small villa with a seaside view. From the second floor, one can see a continuous flow of merchant ships passing through the Thames estuary. The furnishings in the villa are a mix of both Victorian and Colonial-era designs, and hanging from the light wallpaper are art portraits of dubious origin, many of which look like third-rate works commissioned for ten pounds each.

Standing alone, looking at the seashore by the window, Welt cannot help but feel a strong sense of mixed emotions flood into his heart.

Recently, he has met many interesting people. Although no one could help him get to the bottom of what is going on — there is no doubt that they are all sincere people.

Because of this, Welt can understand that they have different positions. Edison is the core of the North American branch; Planck seems to be the lubricant between her and the Headquarters — although obviously biased; and Reanna is a soldier whose “duty is to obey orders”.

In the future, when the hidden contradictions between the North American branch and Headquarters eventually erupt into full-blown conflict, then, unlike those who already have a clear position … those who are caught in the middle — whether it is myself, or ordinary researchers such as Einstein and Tesla — which side should we take?

From the previously-collected Soulium data, the mysterious character who claims to be “H.A.” treats Schicksal as her enemy. What did she discover? What did she experience? When Ada eventually decodes her encrypted information, how should we face it? Einstein and Tesla believed that “there can be no decision without proper investigation and research” — but the external situation may change rapidly at any moment, in a myriad ways — can that really give them enough time?
