"NERV Arms Conglomerate, eh? I've heard of your work, why on Earth would you need this girl?"
Strank then took the clipboard as Kayora asked her question, not looking up from the fine print...
"Well Kayora, I can only assume that was your puppetmaster for all these years. We had to run because most likely he'd just killed us and attempt to wipe your memory all over again."
As he finished dotting his i and crossing his T, he continued, in a morbidly cheery tone.
