From: Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko
The Empty Box
Our paths have crossed in the past when your children were born, but this is in regard to a rude "gift" I received many years ago from your brother (See: Package to Ketsurui Katsuko and Yuletide Gifts from the Lorath.). Months ago, the promotional video you were in was called to my attention by one of my daughters. I have had a long time to think about the bitterness that was exchanged between us, and regardless of how rude your brother was it did not reflect on you. I remember our previous meeting, long before my children tried to decide the future of my entire Clan. From what I have seen you've been through a very similar journey, one that took you away from your own people and now faced to live with the consequences of decisions that you too were not part of. It is amazing the reliance of women, of mothers, regardless of which species we are born or flag we live under. I returned to Jiyuu after many years to lead the way for it to become a gem once more for Yamatai, a transition which has left the hauntings of the past exposed. It was my first time there since the 5th made their original claims on the system. I know we ended up on different sides of things, but such is life. I've never regretted my remaining in the Empire, and unfortunately, the actions of Kiyoko have made it so I can never forgive her. I've realized through life that it takes everyone on different paths. I believe though that the rest of us, can make better of these old shadows that haunt us.
In hopes of ending the bitterness that this gift was sent under, in an age of reunion and forgiveness, I have filled this box with many things of varying importance and worth. I'm not sending this as an act under a flag, or any official duty. I'm sending you this gift because this is truly the type of woman that I have become. One like you who has had to claw their way out of the deep, dark holes that rumors, lies, and prejudice in the universe have dug. I hope you enjoy the contents of the box, I enjoyed the time I spent personally putting it together for you. I hope this gift, this now full box finds you well and in the hands of a new and prosperous future.
Signed,
