That the Emperor wanted nothing investigated (and certainly not released to the public) hardly surprises me. I will abide by the decision of the 'Senate'. However, I will make it known that this act gives me no faith at all in the Emperor. That he is opposed to public understanding of Ayame's death offends me, and I can only wonder if he truly is hiding something? After all, were he not, why would he, and his most loyal worlds, so vehemently oppose investigation?
Goodnight, friends. I must rest on this.
Senator Ilinnan rises, and leaves the room in silence.
