Let me speculate a bit (... adding value for a fictional text ^^ ) In aspect of translation: “nowˮ is just an additional signal word for present time, in exist also in German but isn’t that much used. It missing shouldn’t be a “problemˮ like ''Konoko’s passive''. (Well, how you said: it’s free translation, so let us just forget it.) | ||
:Key word | :Key word “problemˮ... I think it refer to catastrophe’s cause. Dead people = problem; toxic air = cause. After that everyone will ask the cause’s cause... toxic air <= ''exploded'' AACs <= Syndicate’s and Konoko’s actions <= and in the end (if the mad mob wants to know – hey, right now this made it impossible...) they ask about WCG non-doing of preventing more toxins. Here goes some manual sentence: | ||
