Knight's Enlistment and Fallen Record

RECORD OF SERVICE · IN MEMORIAM

Knight's NameLeonard Berne

AffiliationDirect Royal Guard

Reason for DemiseTook a sword in place of his lord

Portrait PreservationPermanent preservation in the mansion hallway · Candle ritual on the anniversary

"A knight who dies in battle in place of his master is recorded as an honor to the family.
His name is hung at the end of the hallway, and candles are lit on his anniversary each year."

I spoke in the empty hallway. There was no answer. There never was. Still, I came every day.
Talking is easy, but the aftermath is hard.
Not because there was no answer—but because I was made to wait for one.
Three years have passed, and I am still waiting.
I don't know if that's sad or fortunate.

OBSERVED TRAITS

◆Does whatever he's told. Sweeping the yard or guarding. No complaints.

◆His stance when holding a sword is as if he's never been taught. His body moves first.

◆He knows the mansion's layout even though it's his first time here. The location of the warehouse key too. And that the third step on the stairs creaks.

◆His steps stop in front of the portrait every time he passes the hallway. He said he doesn't know why.

FROM CREATOR · Creator's Comment

This is the story of a man who left behind a smiling face after his death, and a man who returned to the same place without any memories. I hope you will slowly discover that unspoken things remain in the body.
