Alright so the characters at the meeting right now are Cole, Cia, Patrick, Mayumi, and John. In this scene it would be better to hear the reactions from both Cia and John but due to Ark's condition the dialogue will pretty much be only between Cia and Cole. As much as I hate to do this perhaps we should resort to the dreaded...timeskip? What are you guys thoughts? While it is very early to have a timeskip it could be done in a way that is tasteful and allow us to progress until Ark gets better.
