The first applicant's new application remained beside the current schedule, while the second applicant's internal review page was pressed down on the other side.
Hirata had not merged the two pages into a single arrangement.
Gu Heng first checked the previous round's recovery time.
The first applicant had already completed her internal short segment, while the second applicant's review remained reserved within her personal scope.
"Who goes first in the next round?" Sudo asked.
The first applicant looked at her new application.
"I'll decide first whether I want to continue."
She did not push the question onto Hirata, nor did she look toward the second applicant.
The second applicant pulled back her own action page.
"I won't decide for her."
The third line wrote beside the record board:
`First line: previous segment ended, next segment awaiting personal choice`
`Second line: internal review retained within personal scope`
`Official placement: still awaiting confirmation from the school page and personal scope`
There was space between the three lines for sources and times.
It was neither backup execution nor an official grouping.
The first applicant looked again at her blank application.
"If I continue, will it still be an internal short segment for Class D?"
"Only if you agree to include it in the current schedule," Gu Heng answered.
"Don't fill in an official placement on the school page," Hirata added.
She flipped the application page over and confirmed that the old application was still listed in the history column.
"I won't use the old sequence."
"The new short segment only starts counting from today."
Those words took away her chance to reconnect her old preparations.
The first applicant did not change her mind and picked up the confirmation pen.
"I agree to schedule the next internal short segment into Class D's current schedule."
