"I must break you."

Entry 001-2018: Another troublesome "intervention" has occurred. Our marriage arrangements with the Chinese Federation could have ended in a more favorable way, but the incident still managed to leave us with an advantage I never could have anticipated. Thanks to what appears to be a minor fumble in Zero's escape strategy, we are now in custody of the modified Type-02 Guren and its operator Kallen Stadtfeld, the ace pilot of the Black Knight terrorists.
She currently stands guilty of conspiracy and treason against the Empire. I can only ponder what philosophical nonsense Zero used to fill her head and put her in this position. Rather than let the poor girl go straight to the executioner's block with no opportunity of repentance, I offered to make her my personal responsibility and enroll her as a test subject for our new correctional program. The program was developed from the theory that controlled doses of Refrain can be used to alter specific portions of a prisoner's neural synapses and permanently hinder any undesirable personality traits. It will undoubtedly be harsh for her in the early stages, but it has the potential to reform her into an Honorary Britannian soldier and leave her with some measurement of hope for the future. Whether or not she benefits from the program will depend on if she chooses to learn a few things regarding respect and humility over the next several months.
There has been growing controversy over the possible health risk in our proposed methods, and this particular case brought plenty of new criticism. There were some who tried to appeal the decision on the grounds it clashes with the prisoner's wishes and violates her alleged human rights, but the debate concluded when I kindly reminded the court she voided those privileges herself when she became a traitor to the throne. She has already shown her extraordinary talent with a Knightmare Frame on countless occasions, and this will be the best chance we have to prove the program is an invaluable component of the Britannian judicial system.
Entry 002-2018: Treatment began today. The prisoner remained stubborn each time we tried to use one of the basic injection methods. Out of concern for her safety, the nurses were forced to restrain her and resort to a gluteal injection. Refrain seems to have a rapid sedative-like effect on the patient, so I have high hopes she will become more compliant and allow us to adapt a less intrusive treatment regimen in short time.
Entry 003-2018: Patient is making minor progress. She has not said anything of much logical sense or interest while medicated. What little she has given us mostly concerns her mother, whose records indicate she was tragically affected by illegal recreational abuse of Refrain. We're taking every feasible precaution to moderate our subject's usage in a much more sterile and therapeutic environment, but we must accept the unavoidable risks if we are to move forward.
Strangely, she does occasionally mention the name of my own sibling, Lelouch. Perhaps her relationship to him coincides with certain incriminating footage that has recently been brought to my attention. I will delay acting on the evidence until she is more willing to share her own information.
Entry 004-2018: The nightwatch reports our patient has been sleeping more soundly for the past few nights. I'm sure she's still somewhat conflicted over the choice we're presenting her, but she seems to show some mild appreciation for what we're doing for her when she lets her guard down.
Entry 005-2018: The prisoner's daily interrogation session ended with a remarkable breakthrough. I showed her the documented evidence of who actually caused the Area 11 Massacre just before she was due for her dosage. As I suspected, the revelation seemed to completely demolish her already strained mental facilities. This was just the aid she needed to overcome her negative influences and start making significant progress in the program. She remained silent once she saw the video, but it was clear she no longer wanted to go against what is best for her at this point. The nurses had no trouble prepping her and giving her a standard injection to the shoulder. I believe she is beginning to understand how much we are trying to help her.
Entry 006-2018: Miss Stadtfeld appears to be completely adjusted to her treatment routine. She now allows us to give her regular injections without too much nuisance. She has also promised to give us detailed information concerning the Black Knights in exchange for more timely medications. I will honor her requests so she may learn there are rewards for fealty. I'm proud of her for taking the initiative to accelerate her own treatment.
Entry 007-2018: I have approved further revisions to the commandeered Type-02. Based on the current time table, the new unit will be ready for deployment around the same time Miss Stadtfeld completes her rehabilitation. She is currently being fitted for her new flight uniform, as there is a strong belief she should carry the image of a proper Britannian lady if she is indeed going to fight for us. We decided her uniform will based on the same design that is popular among female officers in the Valkyrie Squadron and Princess Marrybell's personal faction. By grooming her into something more feminine and easier on the eyes, I presume she will have a less complicated time being accepted by her new compatriots. Special arrangements were made so the design would not interfere with any of the routine injection sites for the combat-enhancing Refrain formula we have begun to synthesize for her. This measure will keep her dependency in check during missions while providing us a long-term means to ensure her loyalty.
Entry 008-2018: Kallen and her custom Knightmare Frame both passed royal inspection and have been christened as official parts of Britannian army. All omens point to her having a promising career ahead of her under my continuous tutelage. Her first deployment will be in response to the growing problem in the Tokyo Settlement. I have chosen a primary target for her that should easily help her stay motivated.
