Since Church joined the Order Bureau, he's been under Ivan's charge. The two are very familiar with each other, but now Ivan looks at Church like he's facing a stranger. Church isn't surprised by this, reacting with an extreme indifference as if it's something he's used to.
The silence stretched between them for a while until Ivan fully regained his composure, like friends who haven't seen each other for a long time — the first glance doesn't bring recognition or memories of the past, but given time, those forgotten memories return.
Ivan said, "It seems this mission is very dangerous."
"Yes, after all, we're facing a Defender," Church calmly replied, "Chekov's Gun can indeed erase the 'process' of being hit, but before suffering any fatal injury, I'll certainly face Ralph's desperate counterattack... I am neither an Undead nor an Alchemy Puppet, nor a member of the Clarks. Without that, I'd definitely die."
Ivan softly asked, "Lowered your presence to even deceive Ralph, huh?"
