One day, Akihime didn't come down from her room to eat, which wasn't uncommon since she tried avoiding Shingen nowadays, but Amaya hadn't seen her at all since she returned from her errands. Going to her room showed her dresser and wardrobe cleaned out, her gunpla left in their displays and her bed made neatly. Her desk lamp was on, shining brightly over a carefully folded paper written to Amaya. It read that Akihime had decided to leave the estate, not wanting to live in an environment where she neither felt no longer welcome or safe. She felt awful for all the stress the situation was putting Amaya under and felt this was a better option. "I'm sorry you have to find out this way. If I waited for you to come home, you would have stopped me and I would have lost my nerve." One part read. It also stated that she was going to join Tenkai and his cause, it felt safer for her and the baby, at least for the time being. Amaya had the choice to find her and follow her or stay with Shingen; "whichever you choose will not make me think better or less of you."
"I love you, Ama, please forgive me...I did what I felt was right. I'll let you yell at me all you want if we see each other again. Please take care. -Akihime"
