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.

Considering how twisted his vision of the world was, I'm sure you're right that you'd never be more than a tool. I don't think he would've accepted anyone as his son unless they were in perfect lock-step with him in everything he did.
...Sounds like a rhyming tune to a song I've already danced to.

He's threatened it before, whenever I tried to argue against him without a reason he accepted.
I already knew he'd never publicly acknowledge me...
Having an illegitimate child, especially one with exotic features, would have ruined him.
I'd just hoped that he could be made to regret abandoning my mother over my birth.
I'm not surprised there are more assholes like him out there, though.
I already have a sizeable list of accomplices, after all.

...But man, Japan is one seriously gacked up place. Glad I got shipped off to Germany instead when I was a kid. The whole culture just seems to have a thing for judging anyone who's out of the ordinary, even if it wasn't their choice.

That does about sum it up. Conformism is valued very strongly there.
It was a bit of a shock, coming here and seeing individuality encouraged so much.
Especially since I arrived around Mardi Gras.

The only time you ever see people dressed that outlandishly in Japan is around Halloween.
