"I understand what you all are thinking, and I sympathize with your concerns… I can assure you I am far more distraught than anyone in the world… When I find out what happened, or who the culprit was, I assure you I will be the first person to erase them from existence. But, now is no time to panic, nor focus our efforts on it."

He reaffirmed his brilliant, sky blue eyes as the wind waved his long, blonde, tied ponytail erratically in the cold, night-time breeze.
