She can also be confrontational but only when she feels insulted or threatened.

She would most likely notice something subtly wrong with the way Graham is behaving, and find some excuse to leave the room, perhaps for some water or coffee, without giving a hint that she's suspicious. Then she would slip away, like she did in the Safe.

Depends on how it's written. So far Chiaki holds the record for the shortest yet most dramatic fight in recent memory.

If he did intercept that transport, that means there are two Chiaki's right now. Unless that causes the transfer of the Fandom to fail.

Lara never really

She has a talent for good assessments of people. Too bad it doesn't help her all that much except philosophically.
