What a beautiful surprise!

It has really been years by now, hasn't it? How time passes, I am glad to see you having found your place within Kusari.
Before I try to understand the depths of our potential future, allow me to first inquiry about your current housing situation. And how did your apartment manage to get blown up? Do you need any help?

As for the fortune telling, I am intrigued and amused that such forms of fortune telling still exist. I am merely aware and have been paying visits to temples offering omikuji, as well as owning an extensive collection of Omamori amulets. Utilizing cards, never really saw that before myself.

As for its contents or more so, your interpretation of it: I am both honored and once more amused that you immediately thought about me. I could entertain the thought of being the Great Matriarch of Sirius, though I believe you take things too far here. The disunity of the houses is a delicate matter, you see. Whereas there are diplomatic bridges - yes even comradeship and friendship - between some of the colonies, and all sharing significant interdependencies in economic sectors, the world as the generation before me knew is gone. Post the colony wars, these inter-colony bonds weakened, they are fragile enough that sometimes a spark will suffice and millions are sent to die for basically nothing, all whilst economies dwindle and everyone's situation worsens a little more again.

We are at the brink of another great war and I have sworn myself to do everything within my abilities to preserve peace or at the very least limit the scale of a conflict. I still dream to put in the work for pursuing the utopian vision of a more united sector but I do not hold it in high hopes for years anymore. Palistri, what I believe we can take away from this session of fortune telling is, that is it on us. Me and even you, as that knight of great valor, to aspire to be those to succeed in bringing the people of Sirius and perhaps even Gallia unity and stability. To move away from these three decades of warfare ravaging across the sector. To simply not give up this hope and goal, for who else would still try to pursue it in this rotten world if not us?

What do you say?
Sanae Miyasu
