[She's been wanting—well, needing—to do this since she awoke yesterday. Even though it was a curse and everyone is fine now as Lelouch says everyone still deserves an apology.

They deserve more.

But she isn't sure what else she has to offer. She started writing one a few times before deciding it needed to be in her own voice. She couldn't be so cowardly as to hide in a letter. She just needed another few minutes to make sure she could start without falling apart in the process.]

Hello. [Long pause.] I would like to apologize to everyone I spoke to yesterday and everyone who saw my awful, shocking post. I am especially sorry to Ken and Syaoran who I... [So much for keeping her voice together. The curse. Dean. Suzaku. It was a very, very emotional few days for her, but she was a princess. She needed to continue, so she did.] hurt. And of course to all of the Japanese for my hurtful words.

I am so very, very sorry.

Umi, Mara, Flynn, Yuri, Lelouch...thank you all so much for stopping me and for helping Ken and Syaoran. I am forever in your debt.

[Pause] Cain, I would like to take some time off of work.

(OOC: Action open to Lelouch and anyone storming the castle. I mean...visiting the apartment.)

[Her tone is measured, just on the polite side of, well, outright hostility.]

Ken's done a great deal for me, I'd be a terrible friend if I didn't help him when I could.

[She can understand that. It was beyond a horrible way to meet one of Ken's friends. Everything about that curse was horrible.]

He's lucky to have you.

You understand if I'm unable to say the same at the moment. I'm sure you're a good person normally, Ken wouldn't be your friend otherwise, but if that was a true version of yourself..?

I understand. [She agrees.]

It wasn't. I don't believe in killing. [Although those closest to her are killers.]

And the last thing I'd... [getting choked up. She closes her eyes and takes just a moment.] Ken is one of the last people I'd ever want to hurt in any way.

I see.

I know it doesn't make up for it. Not at all... But if he had... [can't even say it] I would have traded anything to bring him back.

I'm certain that lessens the pain he's been in.

[She isn't sure if Mara is being sincere or sarcastic.] I'll do anything I can to lessen it.

[There's a small 'hmph' sound and she disconnects. Sorry, Euphie, you almost killed her friend, she's not going to like you for awhile.]

[It's easier actually. Everyone else is so worried about her. It's almost nice to have someone as upset with her as she is.]
