The Gourmet & Ecology Exploration Club.
Suspended during the brief vacation due to Marquis Vance's terror incident, the club had officially resumed with the start of the second semester. However, the club president—Lucien—was nowhere to be seen.

"Hehe."
Mariella sat in the corner of the room, a soft, highly uncharacteristic giggle escaping her lips. She was meticulously polishing the six-shot revolver with a silk handkerchief as if it were a sacred relic. She buffed the steel until it gleamed so brightly it reflected the afternoon sunlight, almost blinding anyone who looked directly at it.
"…Lucien, you know," Bordon muttered, leaning against the window frame and watching Mariella's intense dedication. "He's not really such a bad guy, is he?"
Sitting across the room, Kael remained completely silent.
