Anya has smashed through the library wall with the Mordred. Villetta tells her that deploying the machine there is very wrong. Elsewhere in the episode, Gino explains its presence to the Knight Police by calling Ashford a school for commoners, as though the social description made the extraordinary incident ordinary. Nothing about the word commoners explains a Knightmare breaking a library wall. It lets Gino speak with the ease of someone describing a familiar nuisance, while the library scene supplies a much larger disturbance. His confidence is part of the evasion: he does not trouble to make the normalizing claim fit the scale of what happened. The gap between the damage and his explanation already reveals how class language can make an inadequate excuse sound casually authoritative to the person delivering it.
