[It's almost poetic, how the self-destruct sequence went off without a hitch. Dist makes a note to commend Kato on that later. Well, that happening wasn't the goal exactly—in a perfect world for Nagi he would've conquered the first set of codes—but it tells Dist and Kato that their combined programming continues to be sound and effective, and that is just as useful to know.

Dist does all he can to hold back a chuckle. After all, he's trying to be professional here because this is a legitimate test to see if Nagi can take on further projects from them. It doesn't do a whole lot of good to continuously harass the kid in case he does come through.

Honestly, this test is giving him plenty of pressure as it is.]

Oh dear, that is most unfortunate, Nagi. You almost had it, too.

[He's feigning surprise, like that totally wasn't expected.]

I suggest you follow Kato's advice. Rein in your concentration and don't allow yourself any more mistakes, otherwise you'll work yourself into a corner. I'm sure you wouldn't want that, mm?

[Because then it would basically be game over, and it would be Nagi picking up the pieces of his shattered confidence rather than the smug pair standing behind him.]
