I was actually en route to an important meeting myself to sort out a few... let's just call them loose ends.

[The truth of it all is much too complex to divulge to someone he's just met. There's really no point to delve into Shido, the mental shutdowns, or the Metaverse at this time...

And yet, curiosity gnaws at him all the same.]

You must have high standing in society, if you attended such a meeting.
