[Locked to Residents]
[After dusk on the evening of the second day, two people approach the entrance to the tunnels. One remains above, casually acting as a lookout, while the other slips into the tunnel once the coast is clear. A short while later, the following typewritten message appears on the journal.
For once, Minato has a lot to say, and the text (and the privacy) are necessary for making sure it works out.]
Hello, Luceti. My name is Minato Arisato. I'm using the secure network for this message.
We know that Kin'cora is just one of the enclosures outside of Luceti. Normally we don't get to see people from outside except on missions. Right now we have a special chance.
I've seen people on both sides getting angry about this situation. But the reality is, we are all on the same side. Every person in an enclosure is kept ignorant by the Malnosso. We still don't know much about what happens in this world beyond the war. Neither do the Kin'corans. And that's our chance. I want to ask everyone to try and befriend as many visitors as you can. They won't be here forever. That means they'll end up in other places. If they know they have people here willing to help them, we'll have the advantage.
Back home, I found power from making connections with strangers I could have ignored. It's the same here. Two enclosures are much stronger than one. We don't know when we might meet the Kin'corans again on a mission. If we do, we can exchange information. But if they are still afraid of us when that happens, they won't help.
I know it won't be easy. But we can't think of this as a problem. This is a chance that we can't waste.
Thanks for reading. If someone else has something to say securely, please go ahead. The Malnosso can't access this posting.
[And so ends the longest thing he's written since coming to Luceti. Maybe no one will listen. Maybe they will. But Minato is confident that something will change. Luceti is full of good people in a bad situation - just as Kin'cora must be. They have the power to work things out.]

...Probably as good a time as any to speak up.]
It's good to know that you're having faith, but...is it still possible to reach out to them?
-> Voice
[Voice]
No--I wasn't trying to give off an uncaring vibe. Sorry.
It's just, I'd like to be optimistic about this situation, but I can't help expecting the worst of this.
[Voice]
[Voice]
[Even if he'd gone there to help the Kin'coran populace as a whole...If he allowed those children he saw on the streets to die, he would never forgive himself. It'd be like killing Nanako with his own two hands.]
[Voice]
[...And she's just going to get more mad. Tag out, she closes her book to return to watch duty]
[Nothing.]
He'd have to find her and give her an apology for this, whoever she was. He should have kept his chin high, and his faith strong.
Unable to find anything else to say, he closes the journal as well.]

We just can't let difficulty stop us.

[Between coming back to one of his best friends leaving and coming back with his memories intact, with lots of debts weighing down on him, he hasn't been in the best state of mind.
Not that neither Minato, nor Haruhi would know at this time...]
[Written]
[And he means that, sincerely.]
[Written]
...Who was that, anyway? [He could use a name, at least, so he knows who to look for.]
[Written]
...And Minato is fine.
[Written]
...Is there a place she usually sticks around at?
[Written]
[Written]
For now...I'm a little short on ideas on how we could help besides what we've been doing until now.
[Written]
Just do exactly that, Souji-kun. You know about the "power of bonds" too.
[Written]
Granted...he had very few to remind him of that. But that was beside the point. Minato was right. He knew full well what a single, tightly-knit bond can do. They could make it count.
They all could.]
...Then I'll keep going.
And when this is done...we should talk more. We haven't had a proper chance to, ever since I came back.
