"The matter is resolved perfectly... I wish I could say that, but that's not the case at all."
Minerva's gaze shifted away from the document. She pressed her fingers firmly against the bridge of her nose before reopening her weary eyes to look at Marseille again. A strained smile, with a hint of suppressed sighing, lingered on her face.
"Um... I'm really sorry, at that time—"
"No, Marseille, the issue wasn't with you. At its core, it was a failure in inspection and operational procedures. If a more thorough check had been carried out before receiving the unit, and if potential contingencies had been given more consideration before the simulation tests, with appropriate contingency plans developed, even if the incident couldn't have been entirely prevented, the damage might have been further mitigated. That we managed to close the matter in this format is already a fortunate outcome amidst misfortune, all thanks to your efforts."
