Nobuo offered a genuine smile at the mention of repatriating her remains. "We have received her, and she will be honored accordingly." There was something about the way Nobuo spoke the words. "I understand everything was necessary, for all parties involved, from the file, I want to identify the aggrieved parties, and issue them a formal apology, with restitution, as I know a penniless jane doe wouldn't have been able to pay it. After the matter is settled, it will be put to records in our Government, and closed."

Nobuo paused a moment.

"I want to initiate the legal proceedings to expunge her records and clear her name, consider this a formal request from my office to do so." Nobuo said with a nod. "And send all relevant invoices to Mr. Minamino here, who can process them." Minamino took the water, disregarding protocol, and taking a fairly healthy swig of it, catching his breath.

"Please understand, how unsettling it can be to watch as your own son poisons you, fortunately. Seno Miyagi recognized what happened, and.. set up a way so that I can continue to exist. I don't know how he did it, I don't know if I want to know."

"As for Yosho." Nobuo took a breath. "He understood the most, what the problems holding office would create, fortunately, I believe my problem selecting an Heir has been solved, for now."

Nobuo took a pause again, and then he looked to the telephone. "I have one more, personal request, if you can humor me?" He gestured to the phone. "I want to talk to Superintendant Krstevska." Nobuo said, having difficulty pronouncing the name. "Just for a moment, I have a message for her."
