Oh no, I agree with you on that part. It's definitely a little odd that nobody knows about the number of Relics.
Though perhaps the Director herself doesn't know...

Well...to make sure it actually WAS destroyed.
One of my friends has been here since the beginning and she told me that they made a show of destroying the first one but then...save for one that was destroyed during the mission itself, nobody saw the others destroyed. They were supposedly all done in private.
Maybe it's just an occupational hazard of being a detective, but that worries me a little. It's suspicious.

woah hold on
you think they're just keeping them or something?

[diffidentive]

I think it's a possibility, yes.
Though obviously I hope that's not what's happening.

[ Wow. That is messed up. Natsuki does not like thinking that she was brought here and her world was destroyed just to go farm powerful items for someone who wanted to hoard them for themselves. Jeez, that sounds like the plot of a manga.

There's a long silence as that swirls around in her head, but ... at the end of it, she comes up with nothing. She doesn't know enough, and she hasn't been here long enough to have any impression of her own. ]

yeah me too
is there a way to know for sure?

There's always going to be a room for doubt, unfortunately.
That's just how these kinds of things are.

The Director WAS willing to let us watch the destruction of the Compact when Akamatsu-san and I asked her, which bodes well but...
For all we know, the Compact she destroyed was just a copy. We weren't the ones who handed the thing over to her, after all. Feasibly, she had time to make a fake and switch them.
But it's just as feasible that there was no switch and the Director is being completely honest and upfront about her intentions.

[ She frowns at her bracer. ]

uuughhhhhhh this sucks

[diffidentive]

Yeah...
Don't dwell on it too much though, I don't want to completely turn you against the Director or the Bureau or anything.
Like I said, it's just one possibility of many. And one based entirely on theory rather than proof, at that.
My deductions aren't always right.
It's just something to keep in mind. All we can really do is play things by ear. Reclaim the Relics and see where things go from there.

i mean im not about to run around shouting miss director is evil or anything
i get that there's a lot we don't know
it just sucks to not know for sure what kind of person she is when she's the one who brought us here i guess
