{ on some level, the message to stelle is the hardest to write. now that he understands why she'd been so sure of her mysterious friend's abilities, he also just feels worse for it. the reality is that he barely knows firefly, hasn't had much of a chance to until now, and it's like he's betrayed both their trust with what happened in that lab.
firefly, at least, had seen the decline in his mental state during the time but he doesn't know how much she would have told the other.
he has no intention to keep it secret, at least. }
Stelle,
I can understand why you weren't honest about your mysterious friend before we set off now. All I can do is promise her secret is safe with me, and apologise for unintentionally causing others to find out the truth as well.
But I think there's a more important apology I owe you.
I'm not sure how much Firefly told you about what transpired, but there's no denying I put her life at risk. I put all your lives at risk. All I can offer is an apology, and try to make up for it in the aftermath. If there's anything you want to get off your chest, I'll graciously accept it.
I can't say that it's fine, but that isn't for me to decide.
[ At the end of the day, everything regarding Firefly's identity as SAM - as a Stellaron Hunter is for her to deal with and handle.
Nevertheless, ]
I think we all went in knowing that there would be potential dangers in that mansion. We knew the risk, and yet... I'm more angry that I couldn't prevent losses there. What good am I as a Spring power holder if I can't even do that?
[ It's brutally honest, more honest than she'd be towards a lot of people. She probably wouldn't even tell Firefly this, in most cases. ]
I'm reaching out to her directly to cover that, but I felt it was worth apologising to you as well for it.
{ not that they have to always be one unit, but she obviously cares about her a great deal. it's only fair. }
We knew the risk would increase by splitting up and chose to do it anyway. You can't be everywhere at once. I'm thankful my shield covered her enough to keep her alive, however, all of this could have been avoided if I hadn't made the choices I had. It doesn't matter what my reasoning was, it still happened.
Given how big the mansion was, splitting up sounded reasonable at the time.
[ ... ]
Truthfully, we can't be for certain that your choices would have fully prevented what happened. There are a number of possibilities that could have changed the outcome. And it wasn't as if we had fully explored the mansion, either.
And that outcome could have potentially been worse or better. I can't say "we'll never know", as there are many things in this world that can see into those alternate timelines, but...

I'm not going to blame you for your decisions.

Did Firefly tell you about the files?

If there was personal information on it, I didn't ask for it.
