[There's a reason she's Kamisato's public face and not Ayato. Not that... she'd ever say anything publicly to besmirch her older brother's honor. But they have different skillsets and it's worked out better this way.]

I truly believe that Her Excellency was doing what she thought best at the time.

[Sure, it hadn't been great exactly and was absolutely a mess that had required extensive cleanup. She's not bold enough to say it was a mistake regardless. Plus, it's probably not really her place. Besides, mistake or not that doesn't mean the Shogun hasn't always wanted what was best for Inazuma, and its principles, overall. Ayaka truly believes that.]

Have I ever? [Ayaka's eyes widen in disbelief, going so far as to take a step back in surprise.] Why, I would never even dream of such a thing!

[That sounds more like Ayato's domain, come now.

It has been a very sheltered life. Perhaps not a peaceful one exactly, but it's certainly been a very private one. This strange new world, with it's strange new rules would certainly be a challenge for Ayaka. But secretly, it's one she's looking forward to.

Like she's honoring that part of her mother, and even herself, yet again in a much larger way.]
