Subject: Apology

A few days ago, a coward led some people uninvolved in the situation to confront me in the forest, despite being aware of how dangerous that was. I would like to take this moment to apologize to those that I've caused harm to. It was not my intent and that outburst won't happen again.

Locked To: Castmates Only
If you're worried I will come after the Prosecutor again, don't be. I have questions that need answers, not from that man.

Locked To: Soldier: 76
76. How are you doing? And are you available to meet?

[To put it so plainly is only an affirmation of something Ryunosuke has suspected for some time now, following his encounter with the nightmare that haunted his best friend. It's no less hard to hear. But that also has something to do with the way his expression falters.]

Even still. [He nods. He wouldn't dare to undermine the severity of this situation. But at the same time, he can't pretend for a moment that he would be able to give any other answer. And he's fairly certain that he's no the only one.]

I believe you have the strength to overcome this. Maybe not on your own, but-- if you allow us to support you then I know you'll find your way back. That's just the kind of person you are.

. . .Hah. [He closes his eyes, a moment to compose himself once more before he continues with a smile on his face.] You've come very far since those University days, Ryunosuke. Truly, I was right to believe you have the makings of a defense attorney.

[A nod.] You're right. I know I can, but...it's good to know I have the support of my best friend. [Just feels like this great weight has been lifted, his posture less tense than it was before.]

[mychosenpath]

Yeah well... I have a lot of people to thank for that. You included. [He chuckles softly.] If it weren't for you putting your faith in me... who knows where I would have been or what I would have ended up doing. It's kind of crazy to think about just how easily I could have ended up on a completely different path if it weren't for you when-- right now, I can't imagine wanting to be or do anything different.

[Until now, it hadn't really occurred to him, but maybe it was good to let Kazuma know just how grateful he was. Just like he didn't think much of what he was doing now-- it was quite possible that Kazuma didn't know just how much his support had meant to Ryunosuke in the past, or just how much it had done for him. And he can tell that this has had a positive effect on Kazuma too.]

But well... that's just what best friends do-- right? So... I'll always have your back. No matter what. You have my word.
