[Artanis decides to use video for this. He can only hope that being able to see his face will prove an additional reassurance.]

Ms. Schnee, I am...terribly sorry about what happened. I feel at least somewhat personally responsible for being unable to aid you when you needed it, and I hope you will forgive me.

However, I imagine you want to focus on that topic as little as possible so I will move on. I have assumed all of your Guardian duties in your absence and will continue to do so to the best of my ability until you feel fit enough to return to duty yourself. Rest assured, I will keep Nova City safe and thriving. Take all of the time you need to recover in both body and mind.
