"We've been over this already, haven't we?" Mary, whose projection was lying on the ceiling as if it were a bed, answered. Of course, her hair still flowed downward despite her laying on the ceiling - even projections were subject to gravity in the Midnight Inn.
"Dao Lords are too powerful, and the limits of what they can do is literally unimaginable, so even the slightest move can cause misunderstandings. A Letter of Intent is more like an open declaration of your intentions to avoid misunderstandings.
"Of course, it's not really binding or anything like that, so technically a Dao Lord can still act nefariously after sending such a letter. It's just generally considered that Dao Lords are too prideful to lie, so once they've given their words, they won't go against it."
