If I may step out of character for a moment, we've had sad news passed on to us, by Deputy Grand Master, Jac Cotelin. Though many of us have strong feelings about the young woman known as Mirei Seppen, I ask you to put them aside.

Jac received the news today that Mirei was involved in a car accident, and killed as a result of it. At this time, our condolences go out to her family, her loved ones, and those who mourn her. Our sincerest regrets and sympathies go out, and we take this moment in honor of her passing.
