Feeling lonely. Feeling useless. Feeling sad. I know it's all a mist of the mind and it's going to clear out soon. Wish I could block out the feelings so I could be a member of society. Rosa's getting along. There's a young warrior in the group she joins partway through the story, an Avar by blood. Avars are a nation known for its successes in the field of natural resonance. There's a branch in their society of warriors aiming to master both the resonance and their bodies. When they do, they're able to fight without weapons because their bodies become hard as steel and strong as a bull at will. The young warrior hasn't finished his training, opting for a pilgrimage to the outside world. There, he finds many reasons to doubt the teachings he was told to follow in unshaking faith from the youngest age. The old man, the group's de facto leader and a used-to-be dirty mercenary, has been a big influence on the young man's shaking convictions.
