[Grysar] The tree climbing and conversation with Katie had left Haruko wanting to talk with Kaede, but she had group matters to cover first. As is often the case, she went through a few drafts, going to bed on the 13th dissatisfied and on the morning of the 14th rewriting it, against her instincts, to not try to frame her messages to him in a Vulcan a matter as she can manage. She pondered one more round, but it was past time for her to leave for class, and while she's quite fast, she's still not the member of the group that can teleport. From: Haruko Kinsha To: Kaede Takeuchi CC: Katie Andrews Date: Morning of Friday May 14th Subject: Yusuke Fuyuken (Encrypted Email) Kaede-san, Sorry to disturb you with an unpleasant matter, when you already have much on your mind, including decisions about the summer trip. I've been seeing the ads on Shuffle for Yusuke and Shiraishi-chan's musical collaboration and I'm sure she will be amazing in it. I know that he is a friend of Shiraishi-chan, a closer friend than I am. However, I wanted to talk to you (or her, or both) about the my experience negotiating with Yusuke after that fateful raid. It's hard to discuss, and better handled in person. It's all messy, and my mistakes are a big part of this. But even allowing for the fact that we were enemies at the time, I feel that both siblings exploited me. In short, Yusuke bargained using lethal threats and lies. He would accept no alternative to my healing Tenjirou. His only concern about his sister groping me in the middle of negotiations was that I was a bad person, trying to use her. I don't remember how much I told other people about this. I know I said some, but when I talked it over with Katie yesterday, I realized that I'd been holding back. I'd like to talk about it with you and/or Shiraishi- chan. Katie offered to accompany me to talk it you about this. It's up to you. I promise to tell the whole story, including the parts that make me look bad, as best I'm able. I'm not asking for revenge, or even justice. But unless and until he's grown from who he was then, I worry about others he may exploit. I am asking for your help, to let me tell my story and do what you feel is right. Regretfully, Kinsha Haruko
