Your delicacy has always been one of my favorite traits, even when it is entirely unnecessary.

[ At least, when concerning Bondrewd, he is an enigma — but, not at all shy about what he does, nor why he does it. What others think of him holds no water, and personal opinions truly cannot find purchase in his reputation because of it. Because he obtains results. ]

Truly, I hold no personal animosity nor similar desire for either faction. Zenith has allowed me purity of freedom to operate without hesitation, while I feel Meridian challenges me to think creatively and address issues that arise. One cannot operate freely without understanding obstacles in their way, and obstacles are meant to be broken free of.

[ In terms of pure intellectualism, one cannot simply be either without running the risk of some degree of stagnation. ]

Based on my observations, the Meridian seem to embody extreme traits, juxtaposed against either a personal desire to be punished for such things, or an external force that punishes them. Many of them are angrier, were engaged in active wartime efforts, and took the loss as a personal shortcoming. Were it not for a handful of charismatic voices, they may have concluded that slaughtering Zenith was the way forward. And from there, they seem to have adjusted their overarching desire — toward one of independent, personal connections among each other and the Zenith.

They are a terrifying people, Mister Michaelis. Much like those who look into the Abyss from where I hail, their will is very flexible and their recovery time is exponentially swift. Breaking their spirit may prove impossible, as they are too faceted and not uniform at all.

I pray I witness a Zenite loss soon, so that I may assess how they handle it.
