In the bustling city of Maegwyn, the annual Luminary Revel was approaching. The streets were adorned with colourful lanterns and lively banners, creating an atmosphere of joy and anticipation.

What was left was pure emotionless logic. Gone was the pre-tense of bumbling simpleton; gone was the outward show of social mediocrity; there was no reason to play human now.
