It's funny where you end up when you just let Fate pick the destination... I can't think of anywhere else I'd want to be right now. Perfection, in every white-tipped swell and on the faces of everyone I've encountered so far. I really do think I've found where I'd rather be, since I can't be where I thought I would end up

...I do not appreciate you acting like this when no one has done anything but try to help you out in getting your son back to you. Perhaps I was foolish to believe you when you said that you trusted me, but we all must learn from our mistakes, and there was mine in believing you to be an adult, but in truth I..don't even know what I'm seeing with you acting like this.

We will be flying out within the next day or so to arrest Sophie, and to get Luke back. If by that time you've pulled your head out of your ass and like to rejoin the sane world, you are more then welcome to come along with whoever will be going. I'm sure it will be good for the boy, if nothing else.

On a personal note, I will be taking a leave for a short while afterward. Apparently the years apart have definitely widened a chasm that wasn't there before, but I need a break. I've done nothing but been there for you since I was reassigned down here, and if the time before with our last little spat over you up and leaving wasn't enough of an eye-opener, this most definitely has been. You need to grow the fuck up already, Kurenai. I didn't share information because I had nothing concrete to share. Beyond that, you were informed of everything I was doing, and you want to throw it back and be a bitch, then go for it. You might not have liked my methods, but I liked it less how you were acting after the fact. As a co-worker, it was beyond childish, and as someone I thought I counted as a dear a friend, it fucking hurt. I don't deserve it, and neither do the others who have only rearranged their lives to try and be there for you.

Honestly, I don't appreciate you taking my request for help and spinning it the way you have. All I wanted was some moral support, advice on what I did wrong, and reassurances that I might have a chance if I got a different lawyer and tried a different tactic. You decided to start an investigation, when that wasn't what I asked for. I suppose I should have expected that you would swoop in and take over though, even though I thought I was asking my friend for help and not the FBI agent.

Then, I wanted you to look over some letters and to tell me if you saw what I did. I had no intention of rushing out for France with my 'guns blazing' or whatever you and everyone else thought, but none of you even asked my intentions. You all declared me too emotional and decided I would only hurt matters. How am I the one acting insane when my supposed best friend can't even take two seconds to stop and ask me my plan before jumping down my throat?

I have no desire to invade on your investigations, nor do I even want to know what might possibly come of them. I do trust you, although I suppose it's my fault that I just asked for help and didn't specify what kind. Take your break, I'm sure it will do you well. As far as growing up just know I'm not the only person who needs to. Next time something happens and I feel like I need your assistance I'll remember how you completely shut me out and had people rearrange their lives for me when I never asked anyone to do that. Don't go putting those things on me when I never asked anyone to make this a case or a priority, that decision was taken out of my hands and if you don't think that hurt then I really have nothing further to say to you.
