Alice,

I would like to begin by apologizing to you for missing our early morning engagements. I have been... tied down of recent. Quite literally.

I... am unable to recall what has happened to bring me back to the Church here. It was not in my plans to be here, but I... woke here recently. I'm unharmed, but one of the Sisters implied I was injured by telling me, "I healed faster than expected." I'm... sorry if I worried you, Alice. It wasn't my intention to do so.

I would like to see you this minute, but... They are refusing to allow me to leave the Church at the present. I do not know... what happened to cause this change. I was never denied access to the city, let alone the grounds of the Church. And for the life of me, I cannot explain what reasons they would have. This has become something of a prison... Like they wish to investigate me. They ask many questions, but nothing that I'm able to answer...

They have been uncooperative in explanations why I'm even here. Only that it is in my best interest to remain behind these walls. I wish I could recall what I was doing the other night... I only remember wishing to visit the grounds where my partner and I last saw each other.

Everything is so foggy...

Those two people that you seem to know... Toby and Katt? They will not leave me alone, though. I have a hard time explaining my feelings on this... but I feel I've seen them recently, and far too much to my liking. I do not know who they are... but I do not like their intentions with me. Treating me like somebody they used to know; telling me things that make it out like we have all known one another for a very long time...

I wish for them to be......

The woman that I have sent this letter with has instructions to stand by for anything you wish to do. Be it to reply to me, or to be given directions to me. Anything.

They are currently limiting visitations while they are "investigating". Given your skills, from what you have explained to me, I do not see this being a problem.

Please... do something. I do not like being here.

Sincerely,
Mayu

Hello Miss Mayu,

That explains why you haven't been around.. I won't deny that it startled me when you did not show face at the bakery the other morning. I thought, perhaps, you had taken leave. You did tell me that it would happen without warning. I am glad you are still around. And that you are okay.

I am truly sorry that you are unable to leave at the moment. But I am more than slightly perturbed by your words. They are holding you against your will? I am aware that you are an agent of the church. But do they have such authority to do so? That seems.. radical.

By mentioning Toby and Katt, should I be under the assumption that they are taking part in these reasons? You have shared their misdoings often. I was not aware they held power in the Cathedral. I have not seen either of them since the beginnings of our morning activities. Perhaps this is something I should look into..

I will inform this woman to offer me proper direction to the church without implying the requested action of yourself, Miss Mayu. But first, I intend to discover what is going on behind this veil of deception. Please hold tight. I will retrieve you shortly.

With Care,
Alice
