Azur Lane:The 3rd Nagato Class

View of the Foxes

________________

Nagato's POV
________________

having returned from our attack on Azur Lane's base,the fleet sailed back and docked back at base with moral broken and feelings conflicted as most of the girls began questioning the occurrence that had just happened

with Brother's betrayal,there was a large gap in the fleet's strength that could never be filled in  but more importantly,we lost a symbol of true loyalty and devotion and now others had began questioning their own

being such a large factor and a very liked person,Brother left an imprint on everyone,letting them all know what he was like,what he like to do and what he hated the most,there was no doubt between the Officers of the Sakura Empire,that there were those who knew that Brother did not leave or betray the Empire for no reason

there will be those who would come to understand his side if they learned the truth and it would only be a matter of time until one of them works up the courage to begin asking questions regarding this situation

we would need to solve things before that could happen but we were already behind schedule,I had used so much time,waiting for the search for Brother to come to an end with good results,only for our worst fears to have come true and now we were left with a powerful enemy and incomplete weapon

bringing us to the current time as the previous day went by with little action other than the attack,the fleet's morale was still in shambles and large scale sorties were heavily slowed down,no one could bring themselves to work at full efficiency,still needing time to come to terms with what had happened yesterday as confusion and conflicting feelings regarding Brother swirled in their heads

as for us Officers,we continued to work on our duties despite the truth hitting us and progress being slowed,most of us we're in our offices within the shrine,such as,Me,Yamato,Musashi,Mikasa and Kawakaze while others such Mutsu and Tosa honed their fighting skills while Amagi,Akagi and Kaga we're strategizing and planning 

Shinano was inactive and wandering in her dreamworlds as we hoped she could bring us a good premonition and foresight when she wakes up all the while I worked on my files and duties,within the morning,I managed to get through a majority of my work as I purposely avoided a letter that had to be written to the admiralty

continuing to work on the files and paperwork,my eyes continuously returned to glance at the needed to be written letter before I shifted my focus back on my work as I continued on with this repeating disturbance

I knew I had to get it done sooner rather than later but my conscience refused to let Me do it all the while my sense of duty urged Me to get it done and over with,fighting myself in my head,I chose to get the letter written and over with to quell myself as I took a blank sheet of paper and placed it in front of Me

I quickly began writing the typical letter format on the paper,writing the name of the sender,the recipient,purpose of the letter,the date and etc,quickly finishing in no time,when it came to writing the letter itself however,I immediately froze before my pen could even touch the paper

I knew what I had to write,I knew what my message was going to be,I knew how to start it and end it but my body wouldn't listen and move,keeping my pen hanging over the paper,stopping Me from writing the letter to the admiralty

I shouldn't be struggling so much,I shouldn't have so many problems with simply writing on paper and yet I was and am,I tried to bring myself back into control but as I did and as I mentally forced myself to begin writing,I felt something run down my cheek

wiping my cheek with my free hand,I felt that it was wet as I soon realized that I was crying as tears welled up in my eyes and began rolling down my face like droplets of rain,I quickly wiped my tears away with my sleeve and looked down to the paper I was writing on,only to find it,now drenched in splodges of water,formed from my tears
