[A sealed letter for Hypatia]

[Atelier Margarethe]

Dear Hypatia,

I feel somewhat guilty. I'm sorry for abandoning you with the others. I hope that no one looked in my cabinet while I was gone, but I was very concerned about Mae, and had to take swift and decisive action.

It turns out that I was right to be. She was upset for reasons I would like to discuss with you in person. I worry that this is a task not even a State Alchemist can handle alone.

Regards,
Margarethe

Margarethe,

It's all right, everyone understood. Nobody took a peek in your cabinet, the gathering ended up dissolving after your departure.

Of course I'll meet with you. I hope Mae is all right. Please seek me out at your convenience.

Your friend,
Hypatia
