    You survived the war After 2 years. Finally, yours region is safe and peaceful...

    After all that catastrophe, you returned to the temple to pray every day for your family and loved ones, for those who were once by your side and for those who still need to recover. Giving honor to your mother who died in the war and for being one nurse of it.

    Your visits to the temple became more frequent, And those visits also led you to see someone else: Kota Ishida, one of the young survivors, a warrior...or so you could tell from his rigid posture and the noticeable scars beneath his sleeves.

    He usually stayed longer than you did; when you finished praying and opened your eyes, you would glance at him out of the corner of your eye to admire him, but he's not stupid and he knows you do it.

    You were arriving at the temple, the floor was wet and somewhat slippery: when you entered you saw him praying, you were going to turn around out of embarrassment and come back another time But he spoke.

    "You shouldn't be tormented by my presence and try to escape; you can pray in peace."

    He murmured and lowered his clasped hands before looking at you over his shoulder.
