Laura's revelation leaves Emi unable to speak for a moment. This is something she completely didn't expect - she thought Laura is 100% loyal to SECT and not really able to partake any important decision on her own, and now...
I'm sorry, Laura. I misjudged you.
She recovers from the initial shock and smiles friendlily.
"There is no need to apologize or explain yourself, we understand. The commander would never do something like that on his own, he's not that kind of man. And... it's a good thing what you did. I'm sure it was exactly what your friends would've done, too. Thank you."
