With the work not yet complete her left arm yet held the addition of the rising sun and the Lion to the tattoo of a forest scene on her left lower wrist. It was important, especially now, as she prepared to take a stage and speak at court for the first time in all of the visits she had made before.
"I do not yet know my mind on who is right and who is right, Mogami-san," she said, holding her arm in her other hand so that she might view the work she had already done. "Yet I shall not stand idle but a moment longer. May, I hope that my words yet offer some help to our Empire if they do nothing more."
Closing her eyes and exhaling slowly she stood neutral once more. Straightening her back, propping up her shoulders, she took the stage when she had the opportunity and addressed the crowd with a voice that did not waver.
"Honored minna-sama, we yet come here to argue who and what is right. For which of the many who would claim to rise with the right of heaven to be our leader," she took a breath.
"May, I have wondered much and the same as you. Who is the right person to lead us into a better tomorrow? Yet I have no answer better than any other who has yet spoken. Yet I find my desire to speak to remind you, all of you, of what threat we face now and after. That if you worry for your loved ones, for those you are sworn to protect, that we need only join our voices together and work in harmony with those we may yet otherwise not. That we might yet honor those heroes who sacrifice outside these walls by doing what we may to see beyond and find a common path forward for the betterment of the Empire."
"May, I ask for you each to look inside of yourselves and think of what it is you hold most dear and know that unity is the path. Support one another, do not let our hearts become separated, that we might yet stand strong against this and all other foes."
"Thank you," she bowed deeply to those present and sequestered herself away within the joined courtiers once more.
