There is one, in particular, who stood out from all the rest, though much of his guard had been affectionate towards him. Many, he had not seen for any extended period after leaving his post, but Kisara had opted to rebuild the trust between them and cultivate a friendship even after he had left his post. Even now, he thinks he did not deserve it, and so he is even more grateful because of it.]

[Compassion was, he is certain, Kisara's greatest strength.]
Following my resignation, I consider the former captain to be among my dearest friends.
