> Although the people living across the ocean surrounding us,
I believe, are all our brothers and sisters –
why are there constant troubles in this world?
Why do winds and waves rise in the ocean surrounding us?
I only earnestly wish that the wind will soon puff away all the clouds
which are hanging over the tops of the mountains.
_Are you receiving us, little martlet? I always knew you were too flighty for anyone to cut off your feet. One word. One word and I'll know if the rumours are only rumours.-
-I pray that the maker has rewarded you with a long life, or, at least, you are currently long dead, my Hatsuyume.-

-Thank the Mirror._ So it is truely you, then?_
- Opaque communiques for an opaque time - perhaps you are a touch more illusive than of old. It'll be intriguing to see how you've changed, Munen. I hope you found at least a smattering of what you were looking for in the Kusarian diaspora, first sister. Although, pardon me for prying, what did the goddess motivate you to - what would she want you to - find amidst the godlessness? There's nothing out there but vaccum and shade._
I am much reduced, Munen; although I will not be so Godless as to chastise mistress Takahashi over the neuralnet. The movement swims in the turbulent seas - but the currents chivvy us towards the destined shore. We are soon to cut Kusari's faux heart out from her abused, bruise-beaten chest. We are legion, even more so than you remember us. Our ranks have swelled, shoulder to shoulder, forearm to gun. Kusari is worrying her restraints and we are the fist that will shatter her cage.
-Time to have our dreamers back_.

"Oh, I would not perceive your healthy amount of interest as pyring, Masayume.
It's very simple: I tried to find a steady source of 'The Blue Dream' since the few units currently held by our sisterhood aren't even remotely enough to reach our goal to ascend ~Amaterasu's Light~ to a state of mind where she might be able to commune with the goddess herself.
And while I was exploring foreign black markets and other havens, I can assure you that my heart and mind always stayed with my sisters -in- Kusari and thus I don't feel particularily changed whatsoever.
But it wasn't the time yet.
Arigato for telling me the good news about our progress. That's good news!

-Arigatou gozaimasu my Hatsuyume. I look forward to working with you anew._
-It is beyond me to question the will of the goddess; my path is merely to interpret the commands of the empress as they best reach me, but Amaterasu vouchsafed me an enquiring mind, and I will employ it at my leisure, will I not?_
-Why the secrecy, Munen? There are no infiltrators amongst us of which I am aware, nor could any skulk in the shade. If you believe we have been compromised, then provide me with a rendezvous point and I'll rally as many sisters to your flag as I viably trust. Did we offend you, or employ any sleight of hand critical to the divine order? I am usually a sedentary woman, but I have my moments of alarm, just like anyone. Just as anyone may be alarmed, man or woman, fox or hound, when their head is severed from their form._
-Pardon my excessiveness. I find this reckoning somewhat difficult to reconcile._

"The desire to see behind what is shrouded is a dangerous trait. Thankfully as you said you were also granted awareness. In which case these both traits can form a beneficial symbiosis; beneficial not only for oneself, but also for Kusari and our just cause tied to it.
As much as I'd like to answer your accured questions, I can't. Not because I would not want to share the answers with my beloved and respected sister, but because I am also left quite in the same opaquness as you are.
I followed the instructions I received from our empress and I dare not to question her wisdom and foresight; If -you- do however... maybe you should seek her out and question her judgement and calls, hai?
I hope your troubled mind will find the deserved rest either way."

"Hhm, really?."
"A much troubled mind?"
"Forgive any ablation caused, my leader, I did not intend for you to find me chafing. I never intended nor did I seek to infer any question of my Mistress's forever righteous intentions. You have always treaded boldly, Munen. You have flowered for a mere eight years when the rest of us have tended the blooms for decades - sometimes the authority of heritage permits us to squint at the sun, but we lack your clairvoyance, always. The Chrysanthemum is a young plant, forever clipped and pruned by the cycle of violence. Young offcuts like yourself fall to the grass all the time, except you. You; the most successful Chrysanthemum since Matsuda's own days. Believe me, I do not -question- you, Musou. But I am well within my right to ask you questions, as a kinsister, and, Goddess willing, as a friend."
"I genuflect to the imperial will."

you put me to shame." Munen sighs loudly and an expression of exhaustion floods her face. "It might be my mind which is the truly troubled one, sumimasen." The Kusarian bows respectfully. "And while I find it hard to accept your undeserved praises, I want to return them whole-heartedly towards you for being patient with me and my slight outburst and disrespect towards you, my sister."
She straightens her back. "I hope my non-existent answers intepreted as an actual answer to your questions are enough to ease your desire for knowledge and will be replaced by acceptance.
An empty mind can be filled with new vigor to pursue what we are meant to pursue."
