Lisa

The subject's special power can create a semi-solid phantom substance, which attacks the enemy in the butterfly phantom form and effectively interfere with the target's mind.

The subject claims to have attempted to save the young artist from jumping off the building, but got trapped in a flashback hallucination and awakened after the mental shock.

The subject's occasional nightmares and quirky personality has been proved to have nothing to do with mutation. It is speculated that it to be caused by psychological trauma from the past. No obvious symptoms of erosion were found.

The only suspect behind a new-rising Eastside artist to fall off a building, and after the incident, deliberately covered and distorted the truth and stirred up outrage. The subject has had a bad record of stirring up many internet debates, which is harmful to the healthy development of the DisCity internet.

After repeated examination of the footage of the fall, it's found that the subject didn't use her power at the scene in an attempt to murder but to stop the artist from committing suicide. Unfortunately, she failed to prevent the tragedy. As an art critic, the subject is highly acclaimed in the industry. Her critiques serve to push Eastside's art circle forward, therefore she's been permitted internet use in detention so that she can continue to pursue her career.

According to the video recording of the suicide scene of the young artist, the suspect involved was suspected of having special powers. After secretly confirming the identity as a Sinner, the subject was arrested in a low-key way due to the subject's public profile. The subject protested during the arrest but without violent means.

The subject's parents are ordinary Eastside residents with no art-related work experience but fully support the subject's artistic career. They currently live in an Eastside apartment Lisa bought, and are unaware of their daughter's poor public image and arrest.

Became famous is Eastside with the painting "Butterfly". Being unable to paint after the car crash, the subject entered the field of art critics. Her provocative comments have attracted much attention and led to a polarization in her public image.

The MBCC found a large number of dusty paintings in the basement of her house by young painters criticized by Lisa. According to the auction house's records, these works did not meet the standard and were not sold due to Lisa's criticism, and were eventually acquired by a mysterious customer named L.

The subject seems extremely uncomfortable with the MBCC and claims that the environment is extremely tedious and lacks artistic vibe, which severely affects her motivation to fight. The frequent requests to the Bureau to "make necessary changes" are eventually given up due to the subject's failure to draw the design.

The endless criticism of the Bureau improved significantly after the subject was allowed out to see exhibitions. The supervision staff reports that the subject did not show any suspicious behavior other than the over-the-top disguise for fear of being recognized.

Only appreciates people good at art and feels suffocated when being in the same space with people who are not artistic. The subject's quirky personality made the subject have hardly any friends in the Bureau, but she is not bothered by it.

The Chief has not shown any hint of anger or defense despite the subject's persistent, sharp criticism. Lisa has misunderstood this tolerance and recently began to encourage the Chief not to give up on life.

A Shadow Chasing Light

The Chief finds themself in a vast, dimly lit maze with marble floors and paintings lining the walls. Each of the paintings is a replica. There they find Lisa, who is annoyed by their presence but also dismissive of the painted reproductions on the walls. At further investigation, they are unable to determine who painted the replicas in front of them; however, they come to realize that there are some alterations from the originals. Most notably, they all depict the same person. Lisa believes they are likely self-portraits, and sardonically wonders why somebody with so little talent would continue to paint so much.

Lisa notices that one of the paintings uses her signature coloring technique. She is embarrassed that her reputation could be associated with this output, but concedes that some elements of the paintings are improving over time. She still insists that the artist has no talent, but she concedes that they're not stupid and begins to show interest in seeing the rest of his work. Soon, she finds one that she recognizes — though she can't remember who drew it, she remembers that something terrible happened in the studio where she saw it.

A phantom appears. Lisa doesn't know who he is, and he laughs, saying that a tasteless soul like him isn't worthy of her remembrance, and then attacks. He seemingly rips her to shreds, and gloats at achieving its revenge for her humiliating it. Lisa reveals that that body was an illusion created by her ability, and she and the Chief flee through the gallery. A painting speaks to them, urging them to "find the sun" as the only way to defeat the phantom; Lisa seems to recognize the voice as that of her former student, Waylon.

Another painting whispers "Endure, endure…", and Lisa recalls that she once taught a replica painting class where she told the students that to become a true master, one must learn to endure loneliness. They find a painting depicting a sunflower, and as Lisa's butterflies touch it, bright light floods the gallery. It is revealed that the phantom is Waylon, who was inspired to begin painting after seeing Lisa's work. Although he wasn't skilled at it, he only wanted Lisa's approval. Lisa tells him that she doesn't regret her criticism of his work, but that if he had kept trying he may have eventually improved enough to impress her, and that he shouldn't harbor delusional expectations but should have kept believing in his own future even if nobody else did.

Despite Lisa telling him to give up chasing her, Waylon insists that he needs Lisa's approval no matter what, and his body dissolves in the light. Lisa expresses some remorse at his loss, and hopes that the next time she ends up in that gallery she will see something worth her time.

The lonely shadow finally catches up to the light.
It will disappear when touched, but she has no regrets.
The butterfly flaps its wings.
Shadows pass over the empty void.
She is not unheard of, but simply a treasure without a name.

The clothes Lisa designed for herself feature many butterfly patterns.

"Loneliness" is the price one must pay to be an artist.
