Letter to Sephiroth | Backdated to mid-December
Sephiroth,
I regret to inform you that I really won't be put forth as an exam student this round. Sensei claims it is because my teammates are still fresh from the Academy, but I am uncertain I believe him. Both seem capable. One seems dangerously deranged as well, and I am led to believe that has a chance of bolstering his eligibility for promotion in Kiri. He is, however, somewhat stupid, in my assessment. So perhaps there is a grain of truth to Sensei's logic.
Perhaps.
A part of me, however, cannot help but feel he might have other factors influencing his decision. He hasn't outright said anything, but I have the distinct impression he doesn't like you very much. Did you say something to him, when we spoke during that ridiculous berry mission? I've already assured him that I am not seeking you out as a replacement for him, so I don't think that's at the root of the issue.
I am disappointed that I will not get to see what your village looks like, but will endeavor to enter the next Exam. Enclosed are some ribbons edged with seed pearls, left over from a commission the shop recently finished. They are too short to really be of much use in tying my hair, but I suppose you can use them for the Abomination.
There is also a sealed flask of scentless oil, for maintenance on the jacket I previously sent you. Instructions are attached.

He is my teammate. The deranged one, as you undoubtedly have surmised. He is disrespectful in various ways; for instance, he rifled through my belongings and read the draft of the letter I sent along with the ribbons.
Speaking of which, your attention to detail need not be wasted so flagrantly on the Abomination.

Ami,
If you had not intended me to give it attention, you should not have put it in my hands. It is not in my nature to ignore such an opportunity.
Please enjoy the enclosed.

I believe I explicitly stated my expectations when I first sent you the Abomination.
Thank you for the pins. I will put them to good use.
Perhaps they can be used to impart some meager amount of understanding to Bakanori. I doubt it, but hope springs eternal.

[It's been a while since a gift given hasn't earned one back, but she needs time for the next one. Sorry, Sephiroth.]

They should stay adequately sharp without too many difficulties, given how they were made.
Your instructions were superfluous additions to the gift itself. I also had no intention of following them.
