Anise nodded slowly when Guy confirmed what she suspected. Even if Sync didn't seem like the kind of person who'd cooperate with anyone, he was pretty loyal to the Commandant. It bothered Anise to think about that, though. If Sync had been brought up by anyone else in the world, he might have been a gentle person like Ion... and they wouldn't have to be enemies.

But those thoughts didn't matter now, not when it was too late to change anything. What mattered was that if the Commandant ordered it, Sync could be out making serious attempts on their lives. They needed to be careful.

As for Asch, Anise just shrugged. "What can we do? Whatever we decide, he's the one who's just going to do whatever he feels like doing." Asch wasn't much for teamwork, she knew. He worked with them sometimes, but that was only for the few times he couldn't get everything done by himself. Still, it was good to have another ally around, even if he wasn't the most dependable guy. "What's so complicated about it, though?" It seemed like things always had be complicated between Guy and Asch, but to Anise, it was pretty clear who their friends and who their enemies were.
