( delivered only a short while after Herian has been treated and patched up, and also apparently bamboozled the good sir into doubling as a mail carrier ) Provost Niehaus,
There is no good way to re-introduce myself, and a letter risks being dismissive or callous by nature of all that it is not.
Mme. Baudin will have advised you of my arrival and Tranquility.
I do not wish to cause you any distress, even as its avoidance may be an impossibility. My presence and Tranquility both hold inherent potential to do harm. Foolish as it would be to claim to know your feelings on my abrupt arrival hence, a great ignorance of your character would be required to consider that my Tranquility might leave you unmoved.
With that in mind and the knowledge of our history, please know that while visitation and communication are welcome, no obligation rests upon you. Your well-being should be prioritised, and should the prospect of seeing me be too great a distress, I will endeavour to be as avoidable as possible.
I cannot sincerely give you the apology that is rightfully yours, in this moment.
In service,
Herian
