Teresa Hathorne visited my home today.

[Yeah, hi Jusis. There's no formal greeting or whatever else- and it's apparent that whatever happened, it wasn't good. Ayato doesn't use voice when talking to people across the network, he prefers text as a sort of barrier to express himself.

...his hands still won't stop shaking. Fuck.]

[Jusis will hear how, very quietly, Ayato exhales and there's still a hint of his voice shaking after all this. Teresa hit him where it hurts and it shows.]

I'm safe, yes, but not in need of being elsewhere at this moment. As for someone here, Ei also lives with me, so I'm not alone, thankfully. I doubt Teresa would try to do much after she got her point across to me anyway.

[If Jusis thought that statement was bad, well.]

She arrived on the grounds to explain that she knew my sister Yae lives here, in Kaisou, and that she was "good friends" with her. I'm certain you know exactly what she was implying, Jusis. [He hates this. He hates how Yae has to go into fucking hiding because the Order will do everything it can to keep all its members under its thumb and in compliance.] Moreover, she told me I should be careful, as "the weather could turn in an instant."

[There's an exhale here, he's fucking angry and exhausted all at once.]

She also thought it was in my best interest to remind me that I should not get comfortable, and more importantly, that my life belongs to the Order.

[And that try as he might to live a normal life, there was nothing he could do to change that.]

[Ayato breathes out at this, tries to steady his nerves enough so that he can think through this and not just immediately panic as he hears Teresa's warning all over again in his head.]

I'll do what I can to persuade her to get into hiding. She's usually stubborn in things like this, but with her life potentially on the line or possibly even her freedom, I think she'll understand.

[He hopes she does, at least. Yae's been around for a long time, collecting stories and tricking people consistently. She doesn't fear very much, but if he tells her that not only will she possibly end up hurt, but they'll use her to get at him, she'll understand.

There is a long moment that he sits and listens to Jusis's words. About his promise. Ayato has to scrub his face in order to not have his voice hitch in his throat before he chooses to speak again.]


I believe you. [And he does, even if he's still terrified of somehow slipping through the team's grasp somehow. He pulls his hands down his face again and sighs.] I can't go back to being their hound, Jusis. That was seven years of isolation and constant interactions with only zealots or higher-ups. The leash they kept on me was as tight as possible- if I didn't agree with something assigned to me, they would update a folder they kept that had all the information on my family and threaten their life back home. I can't go back to that.

[It was a nightmare for him, an endless cycle of him being unable to voice himself, being unable to do anything but correct problems with the threat of his own family on the line every time. He eventually withdrew into himself and trusted no one, convinced that there were no good people who were in the Black Order.

This team has proven otherwise, time and time again.]
I promised myself last year I wouldn't ever let go of the hope I found again or the will to fight, since I got here. Being in this team has taught me there are still people in the Order who aren't as horrible as the ones I was familiar with for a long time. That they are worth protecting and fighting for. Kaisou is the same.

[He doesn't know where he's going with this, he's not the type to ramble.] What I mean to say is "thank you." For all that you've done, and for all that you still try to do to make sure we all thrive together as well as we have.
