[Ryuko folds her arms again as Excellen reads the paper, leaning on her chair and casting a grim look to the side, focused on the metal case leaning against the wall. The paper itself is worn and torn in a couple of places around the edges. Handwritten in simple, blocky and functional print.]
"Ryuko. If this message has found you before I have then that means that I have lost my life before being able to deliver it to you myself. I've made many mistakes in my life and now that I've run out of time to repair them, I have no choice but to leave the rest in your hands.
I'm sure you've faced many hardships in your life and there will be further ones ahead of you, so I've given you something along with this letter to help you on your way. If you'd prefer to live a peaceful life, then leave it and walk away but if you want to know why you were born and what cost me my life then take it and travel to the city called Union. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for there.
