In the first place, we still know absolutely nothing about that monstrous tree! But that is the nature of the public. The World Tree was their unwavering symbol. Seeing its leaves wither and drop is more than enough to spark panic. What they're truly suspicious of is the white dragon. Rumors are spreading that we intend to use the creature to bring about disaster. Absurd! ...And yet, we cannot simply leave it unaddressed. What is the status of Zenara's findings? Unfavorable, apparently. Furthermore, her recent experimental logs have been incredibly vague. ...She’s hiding something. Vexing as she is, her genius is undeniable. She has made a breakthrough, and she intends to keep us in the dark. No doubt she stumbled upon a harsh truth. One that inconveniences her ridiculous fantasy of coexisting with all living things. So, how do we proceed? ...Freeze the project. By whatever means necessary, neutralize the white dragon in a highly visible manner, and parade that fact to the public. Understood. I will notify Zenara of— Don't bother. We have no time to waste debating a naive girl. At the end of the day, she is merely a single researcher. Cut her loose.|
