Prime Minister Sanae Miyasu-dono,

Your presence and support during this time are both welcome and appreciated. In all honesty, my wife would likely not approve of extensive visitation, however, I am of the opinion that a grief carried by many hands is a lighter grief than a grief carried by one. My wife is currently with young Shinobu-chan in the intensive care wing of Fuyoii Island Hospital, as Shinobu-chan was one of her favorite nieces. Her very name represents an attempt at undoing past sins and generational curses, something near and dear to my wife's heart. However, today would be an insensitive day to tell our Tale of Five Foxes.

I am currently in the Kagura Financial District on New Tokyo, as the Owari family has demanded the lifting of the Seal of Blades and the return of the Exorcism Corps, and we have neither reason nor leverage to deny them. I likely will not be able to leave for a week at least, as the structure of the Owari and Katsuherabo families commands shifts. If you intend to visit, I will inform my wife of your expected arrival. I am aware that she already has tentative results of the Owari family's investigation.

May the New Way of Old Gods keep you safe.
