To the families of those who perished in the bombings:

With the weight of history heavy upon my heart, I extend the deepest and most solemn apology on behalf of the Empire of Yourpan. No words can fully mend the pain and loss suffered by your families, nor can they restore the lives so cruelly taken. But it is my duty—as sovereign of this nation—to speak clearly, humbly, and with truth.

During a dark chapter of our past, decisions were made by those in power that led to the use of overwhelming and indiscriminate force. These actions resulted in devastation to communities, the destruction of innocent lives, and sorrow passed down through generations. The carpet bombings inflicted suffering beyond what any strategy or justification can redeem.

To all who lost loved ones, to all whose homes and futures were shattered, we see you. We remember your names, your pain, and your dignity. And we carry that memory into every step our nation takes toward peace and justice.

As Emperor, I vow that Yourpan will never again permit such violence in its name. We commit ourselves to accountability, to honoring the truth, and to working toward a world where such horrors are never repeated.

May the memory of the fallen be eternal, and may peace find its way to the hearts of all who grieve.

With profound sorrow and unwavering respect,
Yashi herohito
His Imperial Majesty,
The Emperor of Yourpan
