SENDER: FAdm. Nodoka Hanamura, Head of State, Utsunomiya Commonwealth RECIPIENT: Sanae Miyasu, Prime Minister, Empire of Kusari SUBJECT: Rough Seas Hello. I hope a friendly chat doesn't provoke you to send some very nice Hogosha or KOI my way - and honestly, a forefront block message would just make me sad. Though.. need I remind you we have something of yours and Kishiro's. That.. being said, if we can agree to a.. non-formal detente between the two of our nations I feel the peace can be kept. I have gotten what I could realistically gain given our best efforts. I think you know what I mean - your sister, after all - if she were held hostage by Liberty, or the Gauls - would you not move heaven and earth to get her back? That being said.. onto the topic of recent events. Personally, I thought we already left quite a mess for you and your ilk on Honshu, ne? First your jump drive research is compromised by some random Lane Hacker cell. Then it's blasted cross the sector for everyone to see.. and what is more, Sunrise suffers a debilitating loss in the elections and now has to play nice with those Hanazono lunatics. Icing on the cake would be that aforementioned something-something. But I think the cake is just fine without lighting the entire sector on fire any more than it already is. Now, whilst I'd rather little Shinobu had not been maimed so ruthlessly I was.. pleased - to see the Hanazono take a hit. Say.. what you will about Oita and the fate of our flagship. But we at least let, and tried to help the innocent escape the violence that came in our wake, to the extent we reasonably could. Though then again, I'm certain the KOI's report was nothing but agitprop and saving face. Our ideologies aside, we at least agree that war, be it cold or hot, civil or foreign - should not be something the innocent have to die in. The KLA's attack is ruthless, and if anything, either has afforded you room to breathe as their party shows weakness or.. more likely than not, have found themselves a martyr. I think you know full well the ideals the Hanazono hold dear.. and what they believe of women like you and I, Miyasu-san. They think women like us have no place in business, in government. We should be housewives and if we fail that, be cast to the lowest pits of society. I can tell you're likely nervous - there's no need to feign absolute strength here. My quarrel was with your predecessors and the demon they created, never with you personally. That being said - I think it is in our mutual interest, for me, even as an exile - to want to not see Kusari devolve further into clinging to old beliefs that predate even I, all likely in the pursuit of vesting power into people that likely do not deserve it - and for you, to ensure your political and when you retire from being on top of Kusari politically (save the Emperor) social life does not get either cut short, or devolved into someone who has to cook dinner for a possibly abusive husband and relegated to being at best, arm candy or a prisoner in her own home. Personally, were I given the choice, with all I have learned, all that I have seen - at this juncture seeing your party fail would be met with grave concern. Because if history has taught us humans anything - it's that authoritarians like the ones you and your Sunrise Party are three steps up from - they tend to not last very long, and burn brightly - and not in the good way. With.. all that. I have a request for you. My and Nanami's mother and brother are interred at the Mizuguchi Columbarium on PNT. I would like to kindly request that, assuming there are no next of kin that object, that their remains be surrendered to the Utsunomiya Commonwealth for a private burial at a site in the Kieya Woods on Gran Canaria. I already intend to be buried there when I die, as well. I am willing to afford all costs for transport and arrange an exchange of the remains at a neutral facility of your choosing, outside of Kusari's borders. Be well, Sanae. You may very well be the last bastion of something resembling civil freedom in Kusari. I can't believe I just said that, but here we are. Nodoka Hanamura
