I know that a great many terrible things have occurred in our city, lately. We have been struggling against adversity. I am deeply sorry for everyone who has lost someone they care about. I would implore you to hold out hope; do not give in to paranoia and distrust. We must not act like savages.
If you have a grievance, Kuchiki and the Police Division will give you a fair hearing, and I personally would also seek to protect and defend any person who so requires it.

To this end, I would like to request your help in improving relations between the "Scorched" and the natives of Anatole.
They have every reason to despise us. We interfere in their affairs, and bring borrowed trouble to their doors. In a world that is struggling to survive, it would be easy to see us as doing more harm than good. We must change these values. Like it or not, we are in their world, and we are outnumbered. I am told there were generations of scorched who went before us. Let this generation be the one which reaches out the hand of friendship.
Including natives in our protection. Treating them as equals. Frequenting their business. Patiently persevering against the barriers of distrust and prejudice that have built up over a lifetime. These are not bad people! They have skills and knowledge to share. They have friends and family they care for, would die to protect, just like all of us. We are guests in their world. Let us act like it.

I don't mean to weigh my message down with trivial matters, but I would like to take this opportunity to also extend my thanks to all who attended the party held in my honour. It was a delightful evening.
