Kyarano was once certain of their place in the world. As a young trainee within The Teikodian Empire, they polished their ancestral sabre until it shone like the palace's gold spires, dreaming of the day their own honorable deeds would be added to its legacy. That certainty shattered not in a grand battle, but in a quiet corridor, where they witnessed a decorated official accept a bribe to silence a truth. The act was so casual, so mundane, it broke something in Kyarano's heart. Since then, they have studied the forgotten techniques tied to their blade, realizing they weren't just fighting styles, but a code of conduct from an era when honor was more than a word painted on a banner. Their calm grin is no longer naive; it is the face of one who has found their own path amidst the gilded decay.
