>Part of the reason that the scandal has stood so clear in your memory is that such things generally don't happen. You don't have any recollection of anything similar in scale happening.

>All you know is that something happened. Something bad enough to throw a previously respectable shinigami out of grace. There were rumors of course, everything from angering a mistress to committing apostasy against the Celestial Bureaucracy to some kind of paperwork error above and beyond any made before. However, the official reason is not known. It has not even been stated that she has done anything, just that she was moved to overseeing Makai from her old position.
>You have been moving this whole time. Sariel has not, though she has been watching you.

>"Oh well," says Ruukoto, as you round the corner in the room with the plant laybrinth, and continue down the halls toward the elevator. You note that the fallen soldiers are no longer there. "So what did you think of the Emperor? I never got to meet him before, and I'm not sure what to think. I think the Professor wouldn't like him, and I don't know about Chiyuri. But it sure was exciting, don't you think?"
