[ Blame an asshole priest for this one. Kotome got it into his head, the idea that they might ask him to just give up on them to save himself from any blow back from defending them. ]

Jack. I doubt this will reach you now. But I've been trying to find out who might have really been involved in this. Someone must have really hated this place and these people to do this and are using you as a scapegoat. I will not stand for it. So I will keep looking and I will keep fighting for you. I failed you once, but I won't this time. I'm going to protect you. You and your good name. And no matter what, I'm not going to abandon you. Even if the rest of this city turns it's back on you, I will stand strong against the tide and fight for your innocence. No matter what.
