A Royan student is visiting her family.

Einar: “My goodness, Sif! Aren’t you supposed to be at the Academy?”

Sif: I’m working on a project that requires me to collect data from Atuja… I’ve been wanting to see you since yesterday! Where’s Daxton?”

The mother puts her hand to her own forehead as the father gets worked up.

Hailey: “My dear child…”

Einar: “Don’t you ever mention that name again. From this day on, you’re our only child.”

Sif: “Why would you say that, Pa?! What happened to my brother?”

Einar: “It was three days ago. He murdered an Ironhoof in cold blood.”

Hailey: “Sif… your brother is no longer a Roya.”

Sif: “No… No, that can’t be! He’d never do such a thing!”

Einar: “He tore off that poor creature’s head and wears it as a mask. He’s betrayed the Exostrider.”

Sif: “Oh, Brother… How could he?”

Hailey: “The mind of an Outcast is beyond our understanding… It’ll take some time, Sif. But, darling, do try to forget about that person.”
