The way he laughed at the beginning of the fight... was that meant to be a sign?

... I don't know.

But despite his usual personality, I don't think he had openly laughed like that before... had he?

Not that I can remember...

...it could be. We'd need more information to know for sure, but... I don't want to subject anyone to that just to find out.

No, of course not. But the facts are, there's likely someone out there right now who is already going through it. Ishtar-san couldn't have killed both 9S-san and Chinatsu, could he?

[countermeasures]

...I don't think he could have, no.
