Michel’s appreciation

Sumire is summoned to the office of Michel Beauchêne, the CEO of Beauchêne, and is told about a criminal investigation involving her. Sumire confronts the him about her death, her new body, and Glamtec’s blackmail. Michel reveals that he knew all along because he was keeping tabs on this from the start, yet did not act early on in order to collect as much incriminating evidence as possible. He apologizes and tells her how much he appreciates her work, offering to shield her from Glamtec and promote her to a position where she can prevent situations like this from happening.
