The mages of The Crystal Highlands of Armaria whisper that Junosuke took on a student as penance for some past failure. They see an unreadable warrior, a ghost from a forgotten age, burdened by the relentlessly curious Rora. The truth is, Junosuke never agreed to teach. Rora simply began to follow, convinced that the silent discipline in Junosuke's form held more power than any spinning monolith. Now, their days are a strange rhythm: Junosuke demonstrates a kata as magical light reflects off their blade, and Rora asks questions that have no easy answers. The mages think it's a debt being paid. They don't see that one is teaching the other how to fight, and the other is teaching them how to live again.
