Sure. It's a bit of a journey but I'm happy to tell you.
Hmn. Well, the organisation started out as a fairly small thing that was dedicated to the Duel Spirit side of things, called the 'Spirit Foundation'. I've been connected to Spirits most of my life, being able to hear and see them, before an event made them visible to everyone in and close to the Domino City area, and even further afield within Japan.
Myself and a friend started the Foundation as a way to help Spirits who choose to live on Earth get accustomed to it, as well educate people about them too.
Some years later, when the Arcadia Movement hit hard times and announced it was shutting down, I decided to merge the Spirit Foundation with it and take it on, creating the Spirit Arcadia Institute. I'll admit, I had two driving forces behind making that decision. One was that I have a young friend and neighbour who at the time was just coming into her Psychic Duelist abilities. She was concerned about her new abilities and even more so, not having a place to really support her. The other driving force was that I wanted a place where those with special abilities could go to get training or advice, something myself and a lot of my friends who had abilities never had.
So that's generally how SAI came to be. It's my mission to continue growing the organisation with the goals in mind to support Duel Spirits within the city, educate people about them and create strong bonds with the 12 Dimesions, as well as supporting not just Psychic Duelists, but also anyone with a unique ability, no matter who they are. I hope to continue to make this place become somewhere safe where they can go and get support.
