Seventh District, Building with No Windows.
Before Aureolus, suspended upside down in the liquid of a life-support apparatus, a window unfolded, displaying all sorts of information about a person.
"Biological reactions, physical data, blood composition, brainwave activity—the basic data has all been collected."
Aureolus did not open his eyes, yet it was as though he could personally see the data rapidly appearing in the window. His mechanically processed voice echoed through the silent space.
