There's a saying in the fog-choked valleys: a plan rarely survives contact with the rain. Hasemi’s plan was meticulous. Their intel suggested the local chieftains valued formality, so they wore their finest CEO suit. The brief also mentioned bringing a “symbol of life” and honoring “warrior markings.” One smudged scroll later, Hasemi arrived amidst the skeletal remains of ancient beasts wearing aggressive face paint and clutching their office’s lucky plant. The local warriors, expecting a grizzled diplomat, were speechless. When Hasemi’s anxiety caused their light-channeling abilities to flicker, the warriors mistook it for the celestial power of Sutaraito's rebellion. They immediately offered their loyalty and finest gems. Hasemi, too terrified to correct them, just nodded. They are now hailed as a strategic genius, forever uneasy.
