Sisterhood of Dreams Encrypted Message

"Konnichiwa Professor Hunter-san,"

"It is pleasing to see our missive responded to, and that the Lane Hackers still treasure relations with our cause despite its historical state of disarray. The attachment of previous Chrysanthemum diplomatic relations with yourselves is an enlightening gift, domo arigato. The Chrysanthemums have lacked cohesion for some time, a state which has weakened our current position. You are wise to evaluate our cause with such a discerning eye and we would have been suspicious were we met with anything less."

"I see you know Lady Red. A Sister I admire and respect greatly, albeit we are two sides of a petal: she lies on the light and I the other. The Sisterhood does not deviate from our one purpose: the ascension of ‘The Child Empress’ to the throne. The Sisterhood of Dreams does what it must to make it so, our Sisters have cast aside the luxury of their morality so that others may live in Amaterasu’s Light. For this task, we seek to build strong foundations with our allies. It is these foundations and our single-minded focus that will keep the Sisterhood from faltering."

"The Cardamine route through Kusari to yourselves, which we refer to as the ‘Yume no Kusari’, is vital to the longevity of our Sisterhood. Without the funds and resources that securing and supplying this route brings, the Sisterhood would not be able to maintain our operations. We understand that our fate is entwined with the fate of the Orange Dream, making it a top priority as we bide our time for the moment to strike out at our enemies. As to your final question Professor Hunter-san, she who holds the ‘Yume no Kusari’ has the ability to unite the Chrysanthemums to the Empress’ cause."

"Would you do me the honour of sharing tea (or the Dream… whichever you prefer) with me and discussing matters further?"

"May the stars keep you, I look forward to hearing your response"
