Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:Item7 Chapter4 (section)

===Between the Lines 5===

How could this happen?

It’s all falling apart.

Thanks to someone who isn’t the strongest and isn’t untouchable.

Thanks to a rotten adult who isn’t even an Academy City esper.



The past is the past, so it can never be shaken.

That’s supposed to be how it works.

That was why I had to intervene to keep Hanano Choubi from killing that embassy worker for no real reason.

I should have noticed at that point.

The killed man wasn’t a ''confirmed survivor'', but I should have wondered why Hanano could ignore the correct timeline and commit an unnecessary murder. Why could she selfishly take a life in the delicate timeline known as the past?

I should have noticed!

I should have noticed that Hanano Choubi was an exceptionally dangerous person.



I underestimated her.



We are simply too poorly matched.

The past and disguises.

She can transform herself into anyone.

Once she’s aware of that fact, then she really is free to do what she wants.

But how did she gain that awareness?

It shouldn’t be possible for someone living in the past to become aware they are living in the past.



This is one thing I certainly didn’t anticipate.

It would seem I, Aihana Etsu, must take this seriously for once.
