Joining the Mediators after being pulled out of a Lifehold unit near Noctilum's Old Dragontail Tree seemed like the easy, obvious choice, to Haze. Without any particular appetite for fighting, since BLADE lacks an exclusive combat support division, assisting in interpersonal disputes is a dream.

Standing outside the chapel in NLA's residential district next to Hope, however, she begins to have some doubts.

"Are there always so many people?" she whispers.

Hope laughs good-naturedly. "Not this many, no. I think they're excited to see you! I certainly am."

O-oh, well...in that case...!

"You'll guide me, though, right?"

"Of course."
