I left Maltese orbit today saddened and confused, Riona-sama. It seems, in my absence from Kusari, that the nature of the Sisterhoods has changed... and something in particular has forced me to question the drives and motives of the Sisters of Light. I feel bitter that we had to argue so openly in front of Ghosts and Spirits, yet this issue has not been addressed in a manner... Sumimasen, I'll let the footage below explain.
In her writings, Matsuda teaches us that equality is a fundamental concept, one that goes hand in hand with personal freedom. I fear we, as her followers, have forgotten during the years of fighting for our own equality that we are forsaking the equality of others - to the point where we do so without true benefit. Credits... resources... these can be found or taken through other means. They should be forsaken when there is a true blessing from the Empress herself... and... I find it... hard to believe she would commit to such actions for such marginal gains. Lives should be taken when necessary and not lightly... not bartered at a whim. Why, then, do I find the Sisters of Light committing such trivial hypocrisies?
