"Perhaps. When I was recruited, I was trained to be loyal to the agency and never doubt the agency's leadership. The Chief Coordinator at that time vanished without a trace two years later.

"It's just one incident, but it's been rather emblematic of my time in the agency. For all our attempts at control, everything feels as if it hovers on the edge of confusion and chaos. And I don't want to be the next Chief Coordinator to fall in the line of duty, as all the ones before me have done."
