Yusuke,
It
must come as a bolt from the blue that I’m writing to you- given my situation
of things, not to mention my location. My reasons for contacting you are
relatively simple, so please don’t concern yourself over any catastrophic
possibilities from the Makai. I assure that you and your spirited family are
quite safe.
My
problem regards Hiei. In the past few meetings he hasn’t offered any of his
opinions or tactical advisements. That is very unlike him. What concerns me
more is my observation that he hasn’t taken care of numerous documents and
plans, and Hiei is without equal when it comes to efficiency. He has not spoken
to me much either- nor does he bother to train his division as much as he
should. I’ve already given him a few days release, thinking it might do him
good to see his sister and niece in Ningenkai, but he hasn’t bothered to leave.
His
change in attitude started about fourteen days ago- the sixteenth of August in
Ningenkai time. As his friend and employer, I want to know how to get him out
of his dejection. At first I reacted with his manner quite violently, but he
didn’t even notice my anger in the least.
I
require your help, as Kurama is on retreat and I do not wish to disturb him. Hiei
is important to our administration, and if he continues to withdraw into his
tree I don’t know how to explain the sudden slow in my territory’s modernization.
We were years ahead of everyone, now we’re fallen behind in just a few days.
Sincerely,
Mukuro
