That said, my experiences don’t track with the idea that any leaders within MAPLE would encourage someone to sign something that is not true.
To know whether or not a letter that claims that the experience was consensual is actually telling the truth, Soryu would need to have actually cared enough to find out what the truth happens to be.
It seems he decided that knowing that isn’t important to him and thus didn’t speak to Shekinah. The lack of caring about the truth enough to have that conservation is one of the particularly troublesome parts of this episode.
