High Kensei and most revered Evenfall Assembly,
The Combine acknowledges with respect the transmission designated Ink-Eagle / Orchid Path.
Your message has been studied with the precision such as the shadows cast by celestial moons require.
We acknowledge the Shogunate’s chosen posture: presence without declaration, action without inscription, silence in lieu of banners.
The Combine, ever a student of necessity, recognizes this stance.
Yet consider:
When the canopy shudders, the patient gardener does not merely observe the trembling petals.
He tends the roots, or risks losing the whole tree.
The Combine does not seek to hasten cycles before their season.
But neither can we leave the orchard untended while wildfires dance in neighbouring fields.
We propose:
Additional Black Sun lattice data pertaining to the neural resonance layers of Interface Phenomenon 3A-Delta will be made available to the Shogunate’s inner scholars. This transmission is contingent upon increased harmonisation of spatial observation assets and interdiction action.
A shared Silent Annex will be established for covert telemetry exchange concerning Commonwealth and Jacobine tactical deployments. No formal signatures. No visible resonance. Only the ink of shared silence.
Should the weight of circumstance press harder upon the Veil, the Combine respectfully requests the Shogunate to consider elevation from Silent Vigil to Bladeguard Posture where necessity calls.
Let us clarify:
That this is not an edict, nor presumption of convergence.
It is a mirror held toward dusk reflecting intention and possibility.
The path between lanterns remains unlit but navigable.
May balance be maintained before balance is forced.
