[hate that he reads this message and it immediately shoots viola to the top of his dorm heads list.]
I understand. It's a difficult thing when one wishes to help, but everyone appears to be equally without grounds for a starting point to do so. It's also difficult to discover that something you thought knew well is not as it seemed. At least for us, we had no expectations or beliefs. Only suspicions and speculations.
But in such a situation, a strong determination will always do one good. If nothing else, it's heartening to hear that.
The suspicions and speculations pain me a bit as well, in truth - I wish I could have shown you all the fun and festive time that could be had on this campus. It truly can be a wonderful place. But now everyone's experiences are marred with this. It's frustrating - very nearly infuriating.
But your understanding is kind. Thank you. At the very least, I hope to try to build an understanding with all of you. I understand your doubt and your wariness of all of us... Trust is simply something that must be earned, then.
I can imagine so. One should not be treated as criminal for crimes without proof.
[Which is why he finally reached out at all, after thinking over his stance on Kaoruko. He really would have felt like garbage if they turned out to all be innocent and he just like peaced the hell out even knowing they had apparently collapsed.]
I find it difficult to trust, but I'm willing to see what the future may bring without direct condemnation.
Is that so... Then I hope that you're able to find something to trust in, Sakyou. Even if it's not any of us. I think it'd nice to have some things still worth believing in.
Though I'll do my best to try to earn it from you regardless.
[He is a sad ronin about it but he's not keen on burdening others with his sad ronin-ness so:]
Thank you. I'll do what I can to help where I can as well, as the situation stands now. Please don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything I can do.
Only if you promise to do the same. Even if you do not trust me, then at the very least be sure to make use of me. I promise I won't hold it against you later, so long as it's for everyone's well-being.

He's also not above a little lie here and there, though.]
Then we have an arrangement.
Please take care in the meanwhile.
