The day after, Arslan opened his eyes early in the morning. He remained sitting on his bed with his legs pending from it. His feet leaned on the ground. He stared at the cracked wooden floor.
Arslan had always let the others take his life in their hands. The Red Moon Cult killed all his family and he just kept hiding in the hope not to be found by them. All of this, to protect his sister.
Then, after Joseph left to go fighting the Ulghars in the west, Arslan passively tolerated any humiliation from Eveline and Troy River.
In the Academy, he just kept avoiding the other disciples, not to have contact with a society he considered disgusting.
Then, Arslan found Eliza, who protected him from those who wanted to bully him just for not having a family anymore and for being considered the weakest disciple of the whole Academy.
