[with him brought in, she can sip the tea first, after he helps himself and gets a bite. the door is shut, and she knows they won't be disturbed.]
You had quite the meeting with Tenkohime and Toraguma, Mr. Sakamoto. One that ended on...less favorable terms for yourself, so I've heard. Two months, and your life at stake.
[she doesn't raise her voice. doesn't let any of the fear and anger she had felt and still does bleed through. this has to be tactical - deliberate. if the man hangs for this, then the next easiest targets in the Alliance were the rank below him, the one she occupies.]
As well as the safety and dignity of the entire clan and all our enterprises. Including, to name one, the clinic I established that only exists due to the leaders' collective mercy and willingness to turn blind eyes.
[there's no way they don't know about it. not when her name was made public as to helping craft that cure.]
So as you can see, I have multiple reasons to be invested in you retaining your head. [including that Izo would prefer him to remain alive.] I don't know what you have in terms of resources to make this actually work. But I do know you have authority. You might not be a captain, but your declaration and the motivation of being able to continue to safely live our lives would be a sound place to start in gathering other Lost Souls to your side.
[by now, he'll understand at least half of what this meeting is about.]
