[Washu Hakubi: Natural Leader would be the last thing she'd expect on her epitaph when it came to that. Sure, she'd reconfigured the Space Academy and moved it away from Jurai's sphere of influence, and if you asked anyone who the true head of the Masaki household was, there'd be a hesitant (but unanimous) gesture in her direction, but still.

[Not that it answers their current question- they're exposed out here and unsafe, but Washu, as always, is going somewhere with this- it just might take her a moment.]
