Jane was referred by Mr. Istvan and came off textbook serious, for she hasn't stopped scribbling in her notebook ever since she got here... Even though %s and I didn't tell her anything particularly useful, other than the general layout of the Colossus and the location of her room... Wait a minute, she still wrote that all down, didn't she?
While I heard rumors about that's how she worked, was there any purpose to jotting down the conversation I had with %s over lunch? I'm starting to suspect Istvan now... But then again, it took a lot of patience to be so meticulous. If only %s was more like her...

Oh, it's you. You might have to give me a moment because this record is rather messy...
As you can see, I'm the Witness of Umbraton, and this is my job. I don't like recording things, but the tranquility I feel when I record things seems to fill the emptiness in my heart... I saw the hell on earth that Umbraton once was. I couldn't do anything other than watching things unfold before my eyes... I am powerless to change the world, but I can record everything that happens with my eyes and hands.
Of course, I do more than just recording things. As long as you want me to, I can be a fair and just witness for any loan, dispute, or will. Don't worry, I'm a professional when it comes to this.

I was once a member of the Shadowlord's gang. During those times, everyone refused to give in to each other when there were disputes on the streets. At these moments, the Shadowlord would appear with many surrounding him. He would make a simple analysis of the situation and quickly make a judgment.
Although his insights were unique and his rhetoric was rigorous, I still identified some loopholes. I don't know if it was because I was young enough that I dared to speak my mind or if it was because I was so confident in my thoughts that I pointed out the Shadowlord's mistake. Everyone stared at me, a 13-year-old little girl. I heard them whispering, and they all seemed to think that I was in serious trouble... Unexpectedly, the Shadowlord started laughing after freezing momentarily. Then he walked over to me, lowered his head, and asked me in all seriousness if I'd like to join his gang as the crowd grew even noisier. I accepted his offer because I was curious about his approach to things and his methods. I decided to follow him and try to start a new life.
Although I'm no longer a member of the gang, I'm eternally grateful to the Shadowlord... I won't refuse any reasonable request if he requires my help.

According to my memory, the war at Umbraton claimed my mother's life... After my mother died, I followed the fleeing refugees to avoid the pursuit of the Eclipsites. I heard them crying as they complained about how the city above us was still refusing to send an army to save us. I was still young at the time and didn't understand what was happening. It wasn't until I joined the gang in Umbraton that I started to learn more about Umbraton and this continent. I gradually understood why the city above us didn't dispatch even a single soldier to save us back then—those selfish nobles ignored the civilians' plea for help only to protect themselves. Over time, I've learned the rules of this world and realized how incompetent I am...
I want to continue recording everything that happens in this city as a witness. Even if I can't change anything, at least I can record and bear witness to it.
I told the Shadowlord what I was thinking and then got assistance from him. I am honored to witness everything when he reached an agreement with Umbraton. I became the first Witness of Umbraton, and I am still the Witness to this day.
I have become accustomed to witnessing and recording everything. It might seem slightly boring, but this is the basis of my peaceful life...

I presume you know about Ms. Sheol's Guild—it really is a place that can accomplish anything...
I'm also a staff member of the Guild now, and I make a lot of money as a professional bookkeeper. But that's not my primary objective for joining. I joined because I heard the Guild had close ties with Lumopolis, a city I was more curious about than the Guild.
I wondered what the order was like in that city, and with this doubt, I joined the Guild on the Shadowlord's recommendation and gained a deeper understanding of the city. As time passed, my initial indignation gradually became indifference. Like Umbraton, they have their own order there and no one is allowed to question it. Even class inequality is part of their order, despite the fact that those nobles are so aloof and selfish...
There's nothing I can do to change the situation. All I can do is to embrace the calmness and objectivity I gained from my identity and take note of everything I see.
