Item Number: Class-C-425

Special Containment Procedures: Due to Class-Joker (Black), this entity cannot be contained by any effective measures. Past containment attempts all ended in severe breaches. These destroyed multiple sites within territory. HN-02 Containment Site was permanently lost, resulting in [DATA EXPUNGED].

To avoid angering Class-Joker (Black) or causing misunderstandings, all Second Weather Bureau staff below Level-B are forbidden from speaking to Class-C-425 without authorization. Any unauthorized communication will be forcibly stopped.

Class-C-425 lives with Class-Joker (Black) in [REDACTED] City. The Meteorological Bureau expends significant resources to maintain a normal social environment for Class-C-425. This ensures Class-Joker (Black)'s mental stability.

Description: Class-C-425 appears as a human male aged approximately 17 to 20. His features generally align with Asian female aesthetic preferences. He has an average build.

Class-C-425 possesses an innate ability to attract feminine qualities (exact cause unknown). He also has exceptional interpersonal skills and charisma. This draws many young women around him. This situation once caused extreme instability in Class-Joker (Black)'s mental state. It became the catalyst for the [REDACTED] Campaign.

There was consideration to recruit him into the Meteorological Bureau ([DATA EXPUNGED]) as a reserve member. This move seemed to anger Class-Joker (Black). Although she did not express displeasure, the plan was terminated.

During the [REDACTED] Campaign, facing pursuit by Class-Joker, Class-C-425's mental state remained unstable for long periods. He once nearly collapsed. Later, Class-C-425 personally negotiated with Class-Joker. The negotiation results are [DATA EXPUNGED].

After the [REDACTED] Campaign, Class-Joker split Class-C-425-1 from Class-C-425. The reason is [DATA EXPUNGED]. Class-C-425-1 named itself [REDACTED]. It exhibits a personality and thought pattern completely different from Class-C-425.

Due to its uniqueness, Class-C-425-1 has been recruited by the Meteorological Bureau as a member. It was incorporated into Project 0041 (details in Meteorological Bureau database). Class-C-425-1 raised no objections. (See Appendix Class-C-425-1 for dialogue records with contact personnel.)

Appendix Class-C-425-1 Excerpt (Accessed by Meteorological Bureau member Agent Ke, [REDACTED]-level clearance)

Agent Ke: Class-C-425-1...

[REDACTED]: Don't call me that designation!!! I'm not him! I am [REDACTED]! ([REDACTED] is emotionally unstable)

Agent Ke: Calm down... Calling you by the designation was my mistake. I apologize to you, [REDACTED].

[REDACTED]: ...

[REDACTED]: ... I overreacted just now. I should have realized earlier... Everyone who knows sees me as "him"...

Agent Ke: Uh... [REDACTED], isn't it enough that you know you're not him? You don't live by others' opinions.

[REDACTED]: If only it were that easy... I want to ask, how do you see him?

Agent Ke: ... I just find it somewhat amusing... I saw him during the [REDACTED] Campaign. My anger was directed at such a person. Really...

[REDACTED]: ... Is that your true feeling?

Agent Ke: What do you think?

[REDACTED]: ... You didn't come here just to chat with me.

Agent Ke: We hope you will become a member of the Meteorological Bureau and join Project 0041.

[REDACTED]: Your superiors must have authorized you. Give me a reason to convince me to join.

Agent Ke: ([DATA EXPUNGED]), how about that? [REDACTED]

[REDACTED]: ... ([REDACTED] is thinking)

[REDACTED]: ... I agree. I don't want to make the same mistake again... For me, and for him.

Agent Ke: Welcome as our colleague. I'll inform you of the specific arrangements next.

[REDACTED]: I've decided. I want to be a playboy!

Agent Ke: ... You can be a playboy! But don't say it so seriously!

[REDACTED]: Does the Meteorological Bureau have rules against that?

Agent Ke: It's not about whether you can or not! Why do you want to do that?

[REDACTED]: You should know I have no future. I am just ([DATA EXPUNGED]). I want to leave some traces in this world to prove I'm not him. That's all.

Agent Ke: ... If you die, I'll build a cenotaph for you. I think I can at least do that.

[REDACTED]: Then I'll say thanks in advance.

Agent Ke: I hope I won't have to accept this thanks in the years to come.
