[ She'd received a few thank you letters already, but this speaks to her on a new level. While Orihime knows there is value and a time and place to fight, she does prefer everyone get along. ]

Sorey-san,

I'm so glad you enjoyed the pastries! I do have a recipe, though I have to admit that I had some of the chefs here help me with the fillings. They're with this letter!

Do you really think we could find a compromise? I don't know much about the history of this conflict, but if I could save people, I agree.

Please take care,

- Orihime Inoue

[Sorey is pleased when he gets a reply. He tucks the recipe in a safe place for later, then sets to writing.

He ends up writing a lot because he's a bit of a history nerd. Sorry, Orihime.]

Orihime,

Thank you for the recipe! I'm going to give them to Mikleo, if that's okay. He's better at cooking than I am, and I know he wanted the recipe too. Maybe we can get together and share what we've made someday.

I can't seem to find anything specifically, either, and that really bothers me. I think the war is based on territory but you have to consider other differences, like the way Blanc and Noir approach magic. There's a bunch of clues and they do add up. What we're looking at is an ideological conflict. It would also explain the lack of information on various things: like how the war actually started, and of course, how to use advanced magic. That's probably the biggest one.

Wars of faith and belief tend to be hard to stop with the traditional ways. Like, an arranged marriage won't get rid of the cultural differences. In the past-- on my world, at least-- it usually took a huge shift in power to make real peace happen. So... we're looking at a change in leadership, probably on the Noir side, if we want things to go differently. It might not even be Noir's ruler who is pushing for the war, but we need to find out who is and stop them. Easier said than done, right?

We just need a little more to go on. There are so many things we just don't know, but if we keep our eyes and ears open and look to the past, I'm sure we can figure something out!

[ Luckily, Orihime enjoys reading! And she thinks it's important to hear other people's thoughts. ]

Sorey-san,

Of course! Please share them with whoever you would like. I promise they're not a secret!

I see. So it might even be that people don't know how it started if it's been so embedded in the history of both kingdoms. I never thought about the magic aspect...I've seen some abilities that many people would consider magic, but it's actually a manipulation of different life energies. I wonder if this place is the same?

If it was an easy job they wouldn't have called us in. Even if we didn't ask for this, we're here now. Maybe we can make a difference, right? I agree! We just have to keep trying!

Take care,

- Orihime
