I was a little flustered. Breaking out of the containment room was all well and good, but I hadn't thought about what came next. As I walked a bit and marveled at the incredible sight of the Welfare Team, how could I have known someone would talk to me? Well, I am an abnormality...


The employee who spoke to me was an office worker. Yup, there's definitely a big difference between them and management... I thought as I looked at his clothes. And I pondered.






'If there are no witnesses, is it assassination?'



Should I knock him out with the back of my hand... no, the back of my fist. Of course, the manager is probably watching, so it's not assassination...




As I was lost in these thoughts, he unexpectedly said,




"Are you the manager assigned to the Welfare Team?"




What...?

M-Manager? Definitely not? Absolutely not? I'm an abnormality? I don't even have a Welfare Team manager armband?

I was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected words but answered,



"Y-Yeah!! That's right! I'm the newly assigned manager, Mi... I mean, Faust...!"



I did it...! I said it-!! I said I'm a manager. But usually, if you hesitate like this, they don't sus...




"I see..."



I started to seriously wonder if this person was messing with me. But seeing the convinced look on his face, I dismissed the thought.




....He's just not a suspicious person.




"Isn't it strangely noisy around here?"

"Ah, that's because... an abnormality escaped, you know..."



Is this guy really an office worker? Why is he so calm? The office workers I saw in the game were always screaming or getting hit with suppression bullets, so this felt really weird. Right, these people are real... they were real people.




"I think it's the new abnormality that just came in."





....





That's probably me...





It's definitely me...







"R-Really? Shouldn't we evacuate?"

"Nah... the managers will probably take care of it."



The office worker said that and stared at me silently. I pointed at myself with my hand.
