The Administrator and Lee Sooyeon, identified respectively as Sound Alpha and Sound Beta, investigate and do a background search on Yoo Mina, using an extensive security protocol on a secure line called the AEGIS 8 PLBIT. Lee Seoyoon informs the Admin that all crucially secure conversations will be undertaken on this system from now on. They start reviewing Yoo Mina's case file, a 17 year old Grade C Counter with a history working in lousy companies, as well as a history of bad behavior and recklessness (getting fired twice in a month). The Administrator also explains that Grade D counters are being given active duty when Grade C counters used to be seen as reservists.

The case opens up with an interview with a former middle school school friend of Yoo Mina. She described Yoo Mina as a shy, modest and reserved girl popular with boys. She was described as a mature for her age and a good listener. There was a rumor she came from a well-off family. Her sister was described as really pretty and that she came to school once on Mina's career counseling day. She also says Mina was friends with Shin Narae.

The Administrator expresses confusion as to why Mina would become the Counter industry given her personality and history. Lee Sooyeon explains that official reports indicate that Yoo Mina's sister became afflicted with Corruption syndrome due to getting caught in a Counterside Effect, and that Yoo Mina was working in order to pay for her sister's medical bills, with most of her expenses going to her treatments. The Administrator and Sooyeon suspect foul play however, with Sooyeon saying "the mastermind behind this incident really has a bad taste" and questioning how such an incident could occur in a stabilized rebuilt city."

Yoo Mina and Joo Shiyoon are conversing in the Coffin before their mission. Mina awkwardly reveals she only has one set of clothes and doesn't wash them often, while Joo Shiyoon says he has twenty of the same outfits he wears all the time. Yoo Mina worries that she smells, but Shiyoon says its all good "[a]s long as you're not living in a room filled with trash." Mina doesn't answer, and Shiyoon desperately tries to change the conversation by proposing to go shopping together at the mall to buy new clothes. Mina declines as she's had a lot of bad experiences shopping for clothes. Shiyoon attempts to pass this off as a joke, but Mina's lack of response causes more awkwardness. When Shiyoon finally chuckles and says that online shopping is better anyways, Mina sighs in embarrassment.
