Which is what it's been edited to in the doc. After a week at 20%, it hops up to 84k, another week its over 95.
Though as we're writing her, we're positioning her as still very much Senshi in other parts of her mindset. She still has a gut reaction against killing herself. She's squeamish about pulling the trigger in person and willing to rationalise her way out of doing it for as long as possible, but at the same time she's happily setting a pretty dastardly scheme that could ruin one groups reputation, and get a good few innocent people killed. She still has some scruples after all, and pulling the trigger on someone you've seen and talked to is far harder than on someone you've convinced yourself you hate, and the results of which you'll never have to see outside an FNN broadcast.
It also lets us make her associate seem far more dangerous, while Naoko is putting the brakes on because she wants to be absolutely certain, and is trying to rationalise her natural instincts against what she knows a true Zwilnik is supposed to do. The hard part is doing it without making her seem like a moron....
I figure, if you'd put her in a room with Yayoi Fujisawa... rather than going for the throat, she might just break down and sob instead.
Maybe we've got it wrong... but it seemed like an interesting counterpoint both to her associate, and to Jet.
