Nobody’s particularly fooled; the most common speculation is they left to avoid being chased down by an enraged Noah Scott with a shotgun.He wouldn't mind that much - after all, he and Yoriko weren't married, either.

The Central Committee officially condemns Stellvia Corporation; privately, Mal lets Noah know “when you make dumb decisions because you’re afraid of what’ll happen to your bottom line, it will always come back around to bite you in the ass. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.”Noah's reply: "Speaking of battles, that was released during the Boskone War and I wasn't about to let the enemy get anything that was easily weaponizable. I like keeping people alive." Then he stopped trying to defend his actions.

Attitudes quickly get frosty on both sides for a while. (It takes invitations to the Clark Savage, Jr. Memorial Stadium premiere of the Red Lad Revue in 2018 to get everybody both in the same place at the same time, and into a mood where they're all willing to just talk. Mending of personal relationships continues past 2022.)
