I know about what our country is up against, yeah. We just had the strategy meeting before I got here...
[Kouha's face turns hot and ashamed as he remembers what led up to all of this. It's still difficult to accept that Judar and Hakuryuu had both betrayed them. Hakuryuu made sense, at least; Kouha had suspected he'd do something like this for a long time, based on his circumstances alone. But Judar? That was a true surprise, and he still wasn't quite over it, even if he wouldn't let it cloud his judgement.
He does remember the news about Alibaba and Aladdin, which just makes it all the worse, but Kouha's head jerks up as Koumei continues.]
Allies? What kind of allies are you talking about?
[Kouha's eyes narrow as he hones in on that comment, suddenly wondering what he's missed. Did Mei find something out and not inform Kouha because he assumed Kouha already knew? Was he supposed to be told about this matter by order of Kouen, and somebody betrayed them by making sure he didn't get the message? Whatever it is, this may be the start of whatever Mei is concerned about.]
