Day 6:
"My status as a pariah has not changed, despite my efforts. I'm a lot more accepting of it these days, at least. It doesn't bother me as much. Still, I prefer the 𝓱𝓾𝓼𝓱 of the night. When it's too dark for anyone to look up and see a figure stalking along the city skyline."

Day 5:
"I'm not good at teaching. It sadly often boils down to contrasting what people do and telling them what I would've done, and hope they can put it together. Sparring is more my speed — hands on. Fight and let them figure it out. Build out the 𝓲𝓷𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓽 needed for the blade."

Day 4:
"I'm not the best at the so-called 'adventuring spirit'. Generally, I pick a goal and focus on it, and it's usually pragmatic. However, show me something unknowable: something 𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓽 and full of intrigue, and my sword arm will be yours. Curiosity hasn't killed this cat yet."

Day 3:
"I never got to meet any of my own before adulthood. Not many 𝓀𝒾𝓃𝒹𝓇𝑒𝒹 of mine to be found in the East, after all. I was disappointed when I finally did, because when the Bozjans started rolling in I was met with... disdain, at the very best. They've warmed up to me, at least."

Day 2:
"My father used to say that even the mightiest could be felled, if one can only crush their 𝓹𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓮. Needless to say, I was taught to have a lot of it. However, I call it an exercise in self love, most of all. Love myself, so I can love others."

Day 1:
"[...] So, I resolved to 𝔀𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻, at least for a while. Find what keeps me ticking — whatever attachment I have left with this world. It's been alright, but it's evident that the melancholic part of me longs to feel a spark again."
