[As the recording turns on there is nothing but silence for a moment. Mikami is sitting at his desk and even though he knows what he wants to say, no words come out for the time being. This is harder, a lot harder, than he actually expected it to be]
Good afternoon.
[It was a start. His voice is calm and collected just as always, but as he talks on a sensitive person might notice worry and grief in it. Emotions Mikami usually would never outright show, but cannot suppress at the moment]
I know this week is a hard one for everybody and a time where we need to support one another more than ever. [The man pauses] But I'd like to inform you that I appear to be... incapable of helping anybody out for the time being.
I do wan't to, but my body won't move every time I try to.
[There is another pause in which nothing but soft static noise is to be heard. Mikami feels unwell leaving it at this. It doesn't feel right at all. He buries his face in his hands so that the next time he speaks his voice is slightly muffled]
I'm sorry.
[And for once this is the truth. He is sorry, more sorry than he should be considering it wasn't his fault to begin with. But he couldn't help it. He feels responsible for everyone here, this small world. He needed to keep at least those few good people who were caught in this madness save. For them, for him, for God and for justice.
Not being able to do so was a sin]
