The player can outright declare that he / she means to kill her to collect the bounty or otherwise proclaim that he / she intends to rob her . Both options lead to an immediate fight . Alternatively , the player can claim he / she innocently stumbled into her apartment while exploring the area , to which Selven will respond by allowing the player to withdraw , but only after warning that stepping into her apartment again will result in instant retaliation .

If the player fails to convince Zax to raise the reward but insists on pressuring him , he / she will be dismissed without any reward entirely . Strangely , it appears that killing her prematurely sometimes results in a black game screen . In this event , the game continues to work other than the screen becoming black , with all other processes such as sounds , the cursor , even menus , working exactly as they should . Saving and reloading rectifies this glitch .
