Hotaru-
I know who burned the clinic now.
I’m sorry. Not for everything, but for a lot. I shouldn’t have tried to force you to accept blame, even if I thought it was the only thing that made sense. I wasn’t willing to consider someone doing something that seemed more senseless and spiteful, but as it turns out I am a target for a even more people than I thought.
I don’t expect any forgiveness, or even a response, but I wanted this to reach you before the world turns to shit. Since coming back, neat endings seem more important than ever.
