You're mad that Ryuko was arrested and you had to find out about it from the paper, which means you not only weren't the first one to know, but whoever picked up the paper and read the article knew before you, and I personally had to know about it even longer to write the article.
[it really wasn't too uncommon a problem for a journalist to encounter-- getting a scoop so exclusive even family members and close friends didn't know it-- but it had taken Scuttlebutt off-guard because it hadn't happened to her before]
...Well, I'm sorry you had to find out that way. I didn't know you didn't know. I assumed either CERES would've told you or Ryuko herself would've... or possibly Athena and then you. And it happened on the printing deadline day, so I was busy running around doing the legwork to confirm the facts from the moment I heard about it. If it'd happened earlier in the week, I would've had time to contact you.
