As Ilia spoke, Anise loosened her grip on Tokunaga, holding the doll in a more natural and less tense manner. She nodded when the woman suggested that some things had been exaggerated... probably for both of them. But since they were here, they had a chance to clarify which parts were the facts.

Even though the facts didn't do much to redeem Anise's image, either.

Though she wasn't exactly relaxed, Anise felt about as ready as she could be to say what she needed to say. At this point... it was best to just rip the bandage off and get it over with.

"The true part was... that I'm a traitor," she confessed, still staring downward. "In the Order... there were two factions. While I was working for Ion, I was actually spying on him for the other faction. I reported everything." It still hurt to look back on the things she did, but Anise knew that she needed to own up to it all. "You're a soldier too, so... you probably already know how serious a crime that is." And Ilia could probably also imagine the sort of damage an information leak like that could do.
