UN: G.Akechi
There have been a lot of strange incidents over the past months, where people abruptly lost control of themselves and acted on repressed desires, without regard for consequences. I'd like to provide an explanation for them.
When I arrived here, it was at the behest of a powerful and dangerous mage by the name of Masayoshi Shido. He wanted me to sabotage the school, and undermine the faith of both the students and the larger magical community in Daybreak's ability to manage and protect Candles. He wanted to weaken the school's image, in order to take over as the one in charge of overseeing the development of Flames.
He ordered this in complete awareness that such an upset would only hurt humanity's chances of overcoming Nightfall. His only priority was that he, and the people he deemed significant, survived and were able to continue leading their privileged lives. He believed himself to be a destined savior, but thought only a select few were worth saving, even if it meant turning his back on the masses.
I'm coming forward with this now because his conspiracy is finally undone. I told Daybreak's faculty of his schemes in October, and we were finally able to mount a covert counterattack at the end of last month. He wasn't alone in these plans, but his accomplices should be in too much disarray for a while to react effectively. I think I owe this explanation to everyone who's been affected by my actions, so I decided to say something now, while I have the breathing room.
This isn't a plea for forgiveness or mercy, I know everyone this matters to has every right to hate me. But I do hope you sleep a little better, knowing what happened and that there's no further chance of it happening again.

People's behavior under the influence of my power tends to be something they've been repressing out of acknowledgement of the consequences.
So, it's usually things they wouldn't do under ordinary circumstances.

[...there's probably still a good amount of things she's confused on, but it's fine.]

My apology will be in accepting whatever punishment my victims consider appropriate.

Wallowing in your own self-pity helps no-one.
Inciting violence and then expecting your victims to visit further violence on you is merely making your desire for punishment their personal responsibility.
You should apologise, rather than rolling over and leaving the matter to others.

[So she just posts underneath Hornet's reply with a gif of a guy pointing upward, labeled "THIS" in large letters.]
literally no.
what you do is say "i hurt you and i'm sorry", in public, where they can see it.
like on this post.
then you don't bug 'em about it, and they can decide if they need more closure or not.
"sorry" ain't a magic word that makes everything ok, it's admitting that you did something wrong and you know it was wrong.
some people are actual, legit psychics. the rest of us need to hear people say things.
now accept that you lost an argument to a girl half your age and take your callout post like a man.

He's always been weak against stern lectures, though.]
Yes...calling you ma'am feels wrong, but I don't know what else to use.

[She would say more, but he just acted like she was an actual authority figure and she needs to go lie down until the feeling of existential horror passes.]
[She's rooting for all you kids, though.]

You're not thinking about those you've hurt. You think only of yourself.

Shido hurt me, and he hurt my mother. All I've ever felt toward him is anger.
And now I'm the one who's hurt people, so why shouldn't I expect anger?
no subject
If you're not able to even understand that, then you've no hope of properly making amends.
no subject
I don't know how yet, but...I've hurt different people in different ways, so I'd owe them different reparations, anyway.

[Honestly everyone else pretty much said her thoughts on the matter, but she also didn't think it was right to just drop it suddenly.]

I wish I'd had the courage to speak up when I first arrived, before I was expected to start carrying out my orders.
