If my past self was running this, I would not have been so careless. I may have been cold to my underlings but I was not abusive. If I believed a pawn might betray me, I removed it from the board.

I sent an assassin to dispatch my own second because he was a reckless fool, though the attack only blinded him.

If I were running this, Nyaf-ya would not have been built with a will of her own. Coco-san would not have been framed, and you, Meridies-san, would be dead already.

So all in all, perhaps it is best that I am not running this. The one who is, is a fool, and you will outwit them in the end. But not if you all die here.
