"I don't know how you killed Isshiki, but there's something you don't know."
"Everyone in Kara underwent modifications. Code's abilities far surpass Jigen's."
"Oh!?" Shikamaru's expression turned grave. "Then what is Code's ability?"
Amado's eyes flickered. "It's an ability called Claw Marks. He can leave claw marks anywhere."

"Second, [Clairvoyance]. She can observe every scene in this world."
"It is as though she is personally present, able to take in the conversations and circumstances of that moment in full."
"Third, [Viewing] events that happened in the past. However, it is limited to after Ada's birth, meaning she can only go back at most sixteen years."
