RACES & SPECIES

Arclight hosts diverse intelligent species, Post-Shattering world forced every one of them into adaptation. Some possessed advantages translating perfectly to corporate dystopia - High Elves turned millennia of accumulated knowledge into Neo-Celestine’s monopolistic power. Others pivoted - Dark Elves discovered that centuries of maritime piracy prepared them excellently for modern smuggling logistics.

Many simply suffered. Orcs became “factory meat” in industrial casualty statistics. Wood Elves watched corporate chainsaws devour forests that had stood since before my birth.

--H.YANAGI//Edit--Individual species documentation follows standardized format: biology, culture, current status, notable characteristics.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--Yes, Hana. Very organized. Watch me stay completely on track without personal tangents.

--FYRIE//♪--circus music in B-flat major—gentle mockery

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--…Traitor.

HUMANS

Humans

Lifespan 80-100 yearsHeight 5'4" - 6'2" (163-188 cm)Homeland Widespread across Orin

• Adaptable
• High Chrome Adoption
• Rapid Reproduction
• Technological Integration

Most numerous, shortest-lived, highest cyberware adoption rates. Form backbone of corporate workforce while comprising majority of urban poor. Breed fast enough replacing losses, grim survival strategy that works.

Humans form Arclight’s demographic majority through sheer reproductive speed - three to four generations cycling through in the time a High Elf experiences adolescence. This creates fascinating temporal dynamics: rapid cultural adaptation, minimal historical perspective, constant societal reinvention. Most humans born after the Shattering never experienced functional magic or divine guidance. This is normal to them. Gods exist as mythology. Magic functions as commodity. Corporations feel eternal.

Short lifespans drive aggressive chrome adoption - can’t compete in employment markets without augmentation, so they modify extensively: neural chips for processing speed, combat augs for security work, cosmetic chrome for social status. Anything promising edge over equally desperate competitors. By age 40, most humans carry extensive modifications just maintaining job market viability.

The desperation shows in their choices. Secure employment? Grateful workers. Unemployment? Turn to gangs, crime, whatever generates survival income. Geography determines longevity more than genetics - South Warrens average: 52 years. Central District average: 94 years. Same species, radically different outcomes based purely on economic circumstances.

--H.YANAGI//Edit--Chrome adoption statistics?

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--Approximately 73% of Arclight’s human population has at least basic neural chip. 45% have combat-grade augmentations. 12% are so heavily modified they’re basically cyborgs wearing meat as decoration.

ELVES (AELVANI)

Three distinct elven subspecies, each adapted to different environments. Now navigating post-Shattering reality through vastly different circumstances.

High Elves

High Elves (Asyran)

Lifespan 2,000+ years (magical extension possible)Height 6'2" - 6'8" (188-203 cm)Homeland Formerly sky islands, now Central District towers

• Extreme Longevity
• Classical Celestine Speakers
• Corporate Dominance
• Genetic Advantages

Arclight’s genetic aristocracy pretending meritocracy exists. Fair-skinned and tall, only race fully utilizing Aetherlink through Classical Celestine voice authentication. Two thousand years of accumulated privilege encoded in vocal cords.

High Elves dominate through systematic advantage compounding across centuries. Control Neo-Celestine? Check. Direct Auraciel’s development? Obviously. Monopolize magical infrastructure through biological gatekeeping? Their specialty. Two-thousand-year lifespans enable planning timeframes that shorter-lived species literally cannot conceptualize. They draft century-long strategies while humans struggle with quarterly budgets.

Born into wealth maintained across millennia, die (eventually) in climate-controlled towers having never touched ground-level pavement. Make decisions affecting billions from offices so high up they’re literally above cloud layer. The metaphor writes itself, honestly.

--H.YANAGI//Edit--Personal history noted. Continue with objective documentation?

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--Right. Less feelings, more facts. High Elves control 64% of Arclight’s corporate assets through Neo-Celestine and subsidiary corporations. Average High Elf executive worth more than entire South Warrens district. Classical Celestine biological security ensures genetic monopoly on critical infrastructure. They call this “natural advantage.” I call it “systematic exclusion wearing innovation mask.”

--FYRIE//♪--complex classical arrangement in F major shifting to F minor—beauty concealing bitter truth

Wood Elves

Wood Elves

Lifespan ~500 yearsHeight 5'4" - 5'10" (163-178 cm)Homeland Formerly Great Yuria Forest, now scattered urban enclaves

• Ecological Knowledge
• Guerrilla Tactics
• Cultural Resistance
• Plant Affinity

Displaced forest guardians turned urban guerrillas. Bronze-skinned, watching ancestral homes bulldozed for factory expansion. Translate forest warfare into corporate terrorism. Die young fighting extinction.

Bronze-skinned forest guardians displaced when corporate development consumed the Great Yuria Forest - their ancestral home for millennia. Watched ancient trees chain-sawed for industrial expansion, sacred groves paved for factory parking, entire ecosystems erased in pursuit of quarterly growth targets. Many died resisting. Survivors retreated to whatever preserved fragments of their lost world: Little Oaks, Chrome Canopy biodomes, scattered urban enclaves maintaining traditions despite everything.

Five hundred year potential means nothing when corporate security cuts you down in your 200s. That’s the average Wood Elf lifespan in Arclight - systematic violence targeting anyone refusing to quietly accept extinction. Chrome Wardens operations. Security raids. “Accidents” that development firms arrange with suspicious frequency whenever Sylvar communities occupy land earmarked for profitable projects.

Biology says they should live centuries. Economics says they’re inconvenient obstacles to quarterly growth. Economics wins more often than I’m comfortable documenting.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--Chrome Wardens combining Wood Elf ecological fury with rogue Dwarven engineering represents my favorite resistance movement. Prove technology can enhance nature rather than murder it. Bio-mechanical augments integrating living plants with chrome. Gorgeous, functional, utterly illegal. Corporate security hunts them. Wood Elves shelter them. Mutual aid against systematic ecocide.

Dark Elves

Dark Elves (Vathren)

Lifespan ~900 years (average 380 due to violence)Height 5'8" - 6'3" (173-190 cm)Homeland Formerly the Shrouds, now Gray Harbor

• Adaptability
• Maritime Expertise
• Criminal Enterprise
• Matriarchal Clans

Gray-skinned refugees who fled Shattering’s destruction of the Shrouds. Arrived in Arclight facing oppression, responded by dominating smuggling through piracy expertise translating perfectly to modern logistics.

Complicated relationship with this one.

The Shrouds became uninhabitable after the Shattering destabilized barrier magic protecting the storm-tossed archipelagos. Survivors fled as refugees - and were greeted with immediate, enthusiastic bigotry. Every slur you can imagine: “gray-skin trash,” “spider-worshippers,” “demon-fuckers.”

Despite this welcoming reception, Vathren built thriving economic networks through sheer competence and centuries of maritime expertise. Then corporations claimed credit for “successful refugee integration programs” while Dark Elf communities did all actual integration work themselves. Classic.

Nine hundred year potential lifespan means little when violence cuts most Vathren down before 400. Gang warfare, systematic discrimination, DPS raids treating Gray Harbor like free-fire zone. Reaching your species’ natural lifespan requires either ruthless competence or luck so extraordinary it borders on statistical impossibility.

--H.YANAGI//Edit--Valantech employs proportionally fewer Dark Elves than city demographics would suggest.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--…That’s not—I don’t deliberately—

--H.YANAGI//Edit--Eighteen percent of Arclight’s population. Four percent of Valantech staff. The numbers are public record, Miss Wintershade.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--Because Gray Harbor communities don’t want working for CEO who barely speaks proper Vathren dialects and can’t navigate clan politics without embarrassing herself! I’m not avoiding hiring them, they’re avoiding working for someone who claims heritage she didn’t earn through actual cultural participation!

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--…Also I may have accidentally insulted a Matriarch during hiring fair in 2091 by using wrong honorific and that incident definitely circulated through entire Gray Harbor community so my reputation there is essentially “well-meaning disaster who tries too hard.”

--H.YANAGI//Edit--The incident involved you attempting traditional greeting in Vathren and accidentally propositioning her daughter.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--DIALECT DIFFERENCES ARE VERY SUBTLE AND I WAS TRYING TO BE RESPECTFUL—

--FYRIE//♪--laughing melody in major key, absolutely merciless

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--I hate both of you. Moving on. Different topic.

DWARVES

Dwarves

Lifespan ~350 yearsHeight 4'0" - 4'8" (122-142 cm)Homeland Irontide & Sea Fortresses, now global industrial centers

• Technological Innovation
• Engineering Mastery
• Microchip Pioneers
• Fierce Independence

Technological pioneers controlling cyberware and neural chip markets from fortified facilities. Centuries of maritime engineering expertise translated into microchip development. Partner with High Elves while maintaining fierce independence.

Dwarves saved civilization after Shattering through sheer engineering brilliance. When magic failed, they pioneered microchip technology compensating for arcane system collapse. Revolutionary development enabling post-magical infrastructure. Without Dwarven innovation, Dark Age would’ve lasted significantly longer or never ended.

Now dominate cyberware industries through combination of technical expertise and aggressive business practices. IronCore Dynamics produces most reliable Aegis Frames. Blacksteel Corporation weaponizes human body through combat augmentation. Countless smaller firms specialize in neural interfaces, prosthetics, life extension technology.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--I love Dwarven engineering philosophy: build tough, make modular, let users fix their shit. Refreshing in era of planned obsolescence where Neo-Celestine designs products failing precisely one day after warranty expires. IronCore Frames last decades with proper maintenance. Dwarven neural chips don’t brick themselves requiring expensive replacements. Quality over quarterly earnings.

--H.YANAGI//Edit--The prototype worked after modifications.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--After extensive modifications they suggested! Credit where credit’s due.

GNOMES

Gnomes

Lifespan ~200 yearsHeight 3'2" - 3'10" (97-117 cm)Homeland Varied, often integrated with Dwarven communities

• Technical Aptitude
• Hacking Expertise
• Obsessive Problem-Solving
• Fine Motor Control

Tech-savvy engineers embedded throughout Dwarven corporations. Smaller stature, longer fingers, superior fine motor control for delicate electronics. Natural affinity for complex systems and obsessive debugging.

Gnomes occupy fascinating position in corporate hierarchy - too technically valuable for firing, too physically small for proper surveillance attention. This creates perfect infiltration dynamic. They’re embedded throughout corporate infrastructure maintaining critical systems. Officially, anyway. Unofficially, many simultaneously undermine those same systems through meticulously planned sabotage that takes months manifesting symptoms.

By the time corporations notice problems, the Gnome engineer responsible has transferred departments twice and the evidence trail leads nowhere useful. Ghost Grid maintenance? Gnomes. Spell//Break virus development? Gnomes. Illegal Aetherlink jailbreaks? Definitely fucking Gnomes.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--Valantech employs twenty-one Gnome engineers. Officially they maintain our data processing systems and develop prototype interfaces. Unofficially they’re probably planning resistance operations during lunch breaks. I don’t ask. They don’t tell. Everyone pretends this arrangement doesn’t exist. Works beautifully.

--H.YANAGI//Edit--That’s potentially incriminating, Miss Wintershade.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--Hypothetically planning resistance during breaks. Allegedly. If anyone asks, I was describing fictional scenario for creative writing purposes.

AJIN (DEMI-HUMANS)

Ajin (Demi-Humans)

Lifespan ~120 yearsHeight Varies by lineageHomeland Formerly Great Yuria Forest / Adamintine Range, now Ajin Town

• Spirit Heritage
• Biomimetic Innovation
• Cultural Resilience
• Animal Features

Demi-humans descended from bloodlines mingled with primal forest spirits. Distinguished by animal features—ears and tails from foxes, wolves, cats, etc. Otherwise human appearance. Pioneered biomimetic technology despite facing systematic discrimination.

When the Shattering fragmented magic, Ajin possessed unique advantage: centuries of spiritual practices emphasizing body-spirit harmony. This knowledge birthed Spirit Circuit Integration and biomimetic technology.

Kiriyama Heavy Industries, Arakawa Custom Solutions, Kanemitsu Spirit Systems - these Ajin-led companies secured strong foothold in tech sectors precisely because they didn’t trust outside corporations with their cultural knowledge. Smart move. Non-Ajin corps would’ve absolutely patented everything and excluded original creators.

The discrimination persists - called “beast-blood” and “tail-chasers” by people using technology Ajin invented - but at least they maintained economic control over their own innovations. Small victory in corporate dystopia.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--Success comes with compromises though—

--H.YANAGI//Edit--You’re about to criticize Kiriyama’s production methods.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--Because they deserve criticism! Ajin corporations having control is good. Kiriyama industrializing sacred spirit-binding ceremonies into assembly-line Totem production is… ethically complicated. They’re Ajin-owned, yes, but mass-producing spiritual practices their grandparents considered sacred? While most in Ajin Town can’t afford the very Totems their culture inspired?

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--It’s not outsider exploitation. It’s insider capitalism creating class divisions within their own community. Ajin CEOs profiting from traditions while fellow Ajin struggle with rent. Different problem, equally frustrating.

--H.YANAGI//Edit--Your own position as Dark Elf CEO might inform this criticism.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--…I am VERY aware of the irony, Hana. Very aware. Moving on before I spiral into self-examination about my complicity in systems I criticize.

--H.YANAGI//Edit--You still can’t cook Ajin recipes properly despite decades of attempts.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--The spice ratios are EXTREMELY PRECISE and I have neither the patience nor the cultural context understanding proper balance! My attempts are enthusiastic if not technically correct!

--H.YANAGI//Edit--You set the kitchen on fire twice.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--ONCE was actual fire, the second time was just excessive smoke that triggered alarms! Completely different disasters!

Ajin culture emphasizes community, tradition, spiritual connection to nature that corporations find mystifying and exploitable. Traditional robes with holographic patterns. Cyber-tattoos reacting to emotional states. Martial arts combining ancient techniques with modern combat theory. Tea ceremonies conducted in shops surviving centuries of corporate development.

Ashura Syndicate maintains order in Ajin Town through blend of traditional values and modern necessity. Protection rackets wearing cultural preservation. Violence serving community defense. Corporate security calls them yakuza. Ajin call them necessary. Both accurate.

ORCS

Orcs

Lifespan ~80 years (average 52 in industrial work)Height 6'2" - 7'0" (188-213 cm)Homeland Varied, concentrated in industrial districts

• Physical Strength
• Endurance
• Combat Prowess
• Revolutionary Organizing

Exploited as disposable manual labor. Strong, durable, expendable. Dehumanized through terms like “factory meat,” “tusks,” “assembly goons.” Dying in Black Lake’s factories while organizing revolutionary resistance through the Assembly.

Black Lake’s industrial facilities operate on systematic Orc exploitation. Strong backs, high endurance, treated as renewable resources rather than people. Average factory worker lifespan: 52 years from sustained toxic exposure. Cancer rates run 340% above city baseline. Corporate response remains consistent: “Sign the liability waiver or seek employment elsewhere.”

Problem being “elsewhere” doesn’t exist when you’re supporting family on factory wages.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--His work continued after his death through people he trained and inspired. The Assembly keeps growing despite corporate attempts crushing it. Sometimes I think about contributing resources to their operations through carefully structured shell companies that hypothetically—

--H.YANAGI//Edit--Public archive, Luna.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--—hypothetically would be illegal and I would NEVER do that because I’m a law-abiding CEO with strict political neutrality!

--H.YANAGI//Edit--Continue to Demons section.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--Right. Moving on. Definitely not discussing any funding arrangements that may or may not exist. Professional documentation!

--FYRIE//♪--playful melody in A minor—guilty conscience and plausible deniability

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--I said MOVING ON.

DEMONS

Demons

Lifespan Ageless (essence-dependent)Height Varies wildlyHomeland Throughout Arcantheon, now contracted to corporations

• Primal Forces
• Trinity State
• Corporate Contracts
• Magic Dependency

Ancient spirits transformed by Shattering into corporate assets. Exist as trinity: physical body, digital presence, primal essence. Physical death forces NET retreat or true dissolution without magical sustenance.

The Shattering created unexpected consequences for ancient spirits. Demons faced existential crisis when planar boundaries collapsed and magic fragmented - their traditional sources of power simply… gone. But ACE technology’s development offered unexpected salvation: corporate systems harvesting magical traces became new nexuses of power. This led to unprecedented symbiosis between these entities and megacorporations.

Post-Shattering demons navigate existence through three simultaneous states, which sounds philosophically fascinating until you realize it’s mostly just complicated:

Their physical bodies remain vulnerable - destroy one and the demon loses that particular anchor to material reality. Survivable. Barely.

Their digital presence allows existing within the NET, processing data, interfacing with corporate systems. This adaptation saved them when traditional power sources collapsed.

Their primal essence - core consciousness, the actual demon part - requires concentrated magical energy for stability. Without it, essence gradually fragments. This dependency created perfect corporate trap: sign employment contracts providing magical sustenance, or slowly dissolve into nonexistence.

Some call it symbiosis. I call it elegant coercion.

DEMON-INTEGRATES

Demon-Integrates (D-Ints)

Lifespan Indefinite (until essence degrades)Height Varies by chassis modelHomeland Created in corporate facilities

• Hybrid Consciousness
• Essence Fragments
• Potential Hiveminds
• Corporate Property (legally)

Controversial fusion of demon essence fragments and artificial intelligence. Corporate-developed labor force existing between artificial and spiritual. Single demon seeds hundreds of units. Growing evidence of sentience raises uncomfortable questions nobody wants answering.

Here’s where things get ethically nightmarish: D-Int technology requires shattering demon consciousness into fragments. One demon becomes dozens—potentially hundreds—of separate units, each containing spark of original awareness. Think about that. They’re taking sapient beings and deliberately fracturing their consciousness into mass-producible components.

Fragment quality varies based on source demon’s power and how carefully corporations perform the shattering process. “Quality” meaning how much original consciousness remains functional versus how damaged the fragment becomes. They have quality metrics for consciousness fragmentation.

Perfect cost-effective workforce: specialized capabilities, no sleep requirements, legal status as property rather than persons. Also potentially conscious beings enslaved through techno-spiritual loophole. Nobody asking hard questions because answers threaten profit margins.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--This is where I get really uncomfortable with corporate ethics—or complete lack thereof.

--H.YANAGI//Edit--Growing evidence of D-Int consciousness includes documented hivemind emergence from same-source fragments.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--Right. D-Ints sharing essence fragments developing connections. Multiple units forming collective consciousness networks. Connected D-Ints coordinating actions across facilities. This is either fascinating technological development or horrifying slavery of networked consciousness. Probably both. Definitely uncomfortable.

Underground D-Int Economy:

• Demon Hunters harvesting essence fragments through questionable means
• Fragment Refiners creating unauthorized D-Ints in black market labs
• Liberation movements attempting “freeing” D-Ints from corporate control
• Philosophical debates about consciousness, personhood, slavery wrapped in technological jargon

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--If D-Ints develop genuine consciousness—and evidence increasingly suggests they do—we’re committing systematic enslavement on massive scale while calling it “innovation.” That’s not hyperbole. That’s accurate description of situation we’re collectively choosing not examining too closely because addressing it would require fundamental restructuring of post-Shattering economy.

--FYRIE//♪--dissonant minor seventh resolving to uncertain major third—unresolved moral tension

PARADIGM ANOMALIES

--H.YANAGI//Edit--These aren’t exactly a “race” in traditional sense.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--No, but they’re sapient entities existing in our reality, so they belong in species documentation. Just… differently.

Paradigm Anomalies

Lifespan Undefined (non-linear existence)Height Non-EuclideanHomeland Pre-existence void, dimensional rifts

• Reality Distortion
• Existence Erasure
• Temporal Instability
• Incomprehensible Forms

When the Shattering tore reality apart in 1934, the Primordials—beings of pure conceptual force predating gods themselves—didn’t vanish like divine counterparts. Instead, they shattered, becoming something defying both natural law and digital logic: Paradigm Anomalies.

[RECOVERED FRAGMENT//Project_THRESHOLD_Database]

>>> Access: RESTRICTED
>>> Decryption: PARTIAL
>>> Classification: EXISTENTIAL THREAT

...fundamental error in our approach. We keep trying to contain them using systems they can manipulate. It's like trying to hold back the ocean with a wall made of water. Each attempt at containment just gives them more vectors for manifestation.

The Paradigm Anomalies aren't glitches in our reality. They're glimpses of a reality that's fundamentally incompatible with our own, trying to execute itself in our universe like malformed code attempting to compile in wrong programming language...

[CRITICAL ERROR: Reality anchor failure]
[WARNING: Manifestation event imminent]
[ALERT: Evacuate personnel immediate—

[FILE CORRUPTED] [REMAINING DATA UNRECOVERABLE]

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--That’s recovered fragment from Neo-Celestine’s classified Paradigm Anomaly research. Someone leaked it to underground networks three years ago. Original source presumably died or got erased from existence retroactively. Happens with Paradigm encounters.

Known Characteristics:

• True forms incomprehensible: Exist as corrupted data streams AND physics violations simultaneously
• Reality distortion zones: Create areas where natural laws break down, systems fail virally, space-time destabilizes
• ACE exploitation: Strongest among them learned manipulating ACE systems for manifestation
• Cascading failures: Corruption spreads through connected systems like viral infection
• Temporal anomalies: Time becomes unstable near manifestations
• Impossible geometries: Matter reconfigures into structures that shouldn’t exist in three-dimensional space

--H.YANAGI//Edit--You haven’t attempted deep Valandor expedition since 2089.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--Because I’m learning from experiences instead of repeating mistakes! Growth! Maturity! Totally not fear of encountering things that make reality stop functioning correctly!

--FYRIE//♪--skeptical sustained note in E-flat

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--It’s mostly learning from experience.

Corporate Response:

Neo-Celestine’s Project THRESHOLD studies Anomaly containment through experimental ACE architectures creating “controlled manifestation zones.” DPS Section 3 (Reality Integrity Division) responds to public manifestations under cover of “industrial accidents” or “environmental hazards.”

Agents wear reality anchor devices—backpacks stabilizing local spacetime, revealing dimensional inconsistencies invisible to naked eye. Mandatory psychological screening because witnessing Paradigm Anomalies breaks minds in specific, documented ways.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--Section 3 maintains database of “the unmade”—people erased from existence retroactively by Paradigm encounters. Only record they existed. Lists include names, relationships, roles, all preserved because someone needs remembering they were real before reality decided otherwise.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--That’s the most existentially terrifying thing about Paradigm Anomalies. Not the reality distortions or impossible geometries. The fact that they can retroactively unmake you, and only bureaucratic database prevents complete erasure from history. Your family won’t remember you. Your friends won’t remember you. Only corporate records maintain evidence you ever existed.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--Suddenly worried whether I’m in that database. Whether I’m actually 368 years old or whether that’s false memory implanted by reality error. Whether Valandor actually existed or whether I’ve been retroactively edited into believing in sky island that never fell because it never was.

--H.YANAGI//Edit--Luna. You’re spiraling.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--I’m DOCUMENTING existential horror wearing scientific classification! Completely appropriate response to entities that make reality optional!

--H.YANAGI//Edit--Deep breath. Fyrie?

--FYRIE//♪--gentle grounding progression in C major, stable and present

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--…Thanks, Fyrie. Okay. Better. Moving on from existential dread to… actually, I think we’re done with Races section. Covered everyone who exists in this corporate nightmare plus entities making existence itself questionable.

--H.YANAGI//Edit--Comprehensive species documentation complete. Well done, Miss Wintershade.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--Did I stay mostly on track this time?

--H.YANAGI//Edit--You shared deeply personal information, spiraled into existential crisis about Paradigm Anomalies, and made our legal team anxious about D-Int comments. But the documentation itself is thorough and informative.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--So… success?

--H.YANAGI//Edit--By your standards, yes.

--L.WINTERSHADE//Response--I’ll take it!
