 The paragraph Kenshin hadn't been able to even see appeared gradually, the tone perhaps softer than the first portion.

 " I don't know if some of your words were actually yours or...Kokumajutsu's. But whether or not you meant them, I wanted to try to tell you that...the words were wrong. Regardless of how many times you may have been betrayed in the past, or how alone you felt, I'm glad that you found Rina and came to trust her. I wanted to tell you that hopefully you will come to find that everyone here is trustworthy and cares for you just the way you are, as I found out. Sometimes we cannot protect ourselves by distrusting others, but we can protect ourselves by trusting those worthy of trust. Regardless of how you may feel, even now, I think you're a person worthy of being trusted, trusting, protecting, and being protected. Thus, please make the best choices for yourself, and stay safe. 

 I am counting on you to protect everyone, after all.

 ''...And don't worry! No one else could read that fading-in portion. Whether or not you listen to all that I said (or if you just threw this paper somewhere), the fact that I said all this is completely confidential. So don't worry about your reputation around here, Katori.''
