Now that Fa— er, Lilia and Sebek are absent, I’m the only one left to guard Malleus.

That's right... Though I've spent a lot of time with Sebek, ever since we were young. We learned swordsmanship and martial arts from my father, and we even did rigorous training sessions together on occasion. You could say we were raised like siblings. We've sparred many times, and when I see Sebek hard at work, it inspires me to train that much more.

I'm an orphan. My father adopted and raised me. I thought he was my real father at first. Of course, it's obvious now just how radically different we look. One day, I finally noticed our ears were nothing alike, so I asked him why that was. That was the first time I learned that we were different races, and we weren't related by blood. "You never noticed?" I remember how he laughed. I was so confused and upset, I fled the house and ran out into the pouring rain.
