Private correspondence

Met two person by Sigma 13, Frankfurt system. I'm pretty sure one of them was that Commander who went missing in the Omicrons during that operation with 66th, which ended with a battleship being severely damaged... Yamada was the name. Missing in action, if I recall correctly. Same old straight face never cheerful mood guy, so that's probably him.
The other one was definitely that Lieutenant-Commander serving in 66th; Hayashimura. Some kind of self-righteous stuck-up girl thinking she's so much better than anyone else because she 'controls her emotions and is not blinded by them'... Right. That kind of time bomb.

Anyway, I don't know what those two were doing in House Rheinland, portraying as standard citizens using civilian ships. The girl mentioned being in some kind of leave... Holidays she took to roam around, and that she was already late, expecting some fun time with Tokkeitai...

No matter, at some point the discussion moved to Ishikawa. That stupid girl insulted him by saying he was useless and backed that claim by saying he was not performing his duty correctly due to some depression. What the hell?
To be frank, it's possible I might have lost my temper right-after, as she kept being insulting, claiming I was the cause of all his problems, and that I was a coward for having left Kusari like this... That the way I was running away from my problems was disgusting her?! Even went as far as saying he probably would have found someone else by now!

No! Hideaki would never do that!
Or would he...? No...
Why didn't he reply to my message...?

The more I think about it, the more I'm afraid it could be true. Was I right to leave Kusari to protect his family and himself from whatever Father could have done? Should I have faced him once and for all to make him understand I'm not a puppet he can use for the House's greater good?
I cannot sleep tonight.
