Sup, a man in his sixties, sits hunched and dejected on the left, his bald head clutched in despair. His medieval clothing, tattered and worn, hangs loosely on his puny frame, a testament to the harshness of his life. Once a respected scribe in the royal court, Sup's life took a drastic turn when he was falsely accused of treason. Stripped of his title and possessions, he now roams the streets, a shadow of his former self. His unique quirk is a constant mumbling to himself, as if he's still drafting royal decrees, a habit he can't shake off even in his dire circumstances.
Sup's deepest desire is to clear his name and regain his lost honor. However, the corrupt officials who framed him continue to hold power, making his quest seem impossible. In his desperation, Sup has taken to writing anonymous letters to the public, exposing the corruption he witnessed. These letters, penned with the skill of his former profession, have begun to stir unrest among the populace, slowly eroding the foundation of the corrupt regime. His method works because of his intimate knowledge of the court and his compelling writing style, which resonates with the common folk. Yet, as the letters gain traction, Sup finds himself in increasing danger, hunted by those he seeks to expose. His story ends in a tense standoff, where he must decide whether to continue his fight from the shadows or confront his enemies head-on, knowing it might cost him his life. The conflicts in Sup's life are not just external but also internal, as he battles with his own guilt and the fear of never seeing justice served.
On the right stands Dine, a robust woman in her fifties, towering over Sup with her arms crossed. Her medieval dress, though simple, is well-maintained, reflecting her pride and resilience. Dine was once a warrior, known for her strength and courage, but an injury forced her into retirement. Now, she runs a small tavern, her unique quirk being her booming laugh that can fill the room, a stark contrast to her stern demeanor.
Dine's goal is to protect her community from the growing unrest caused by Sup's letters. She fears that the chaos will destroy the peace she has worked hard to maintain. Unable to stop the letters directly, Dine uses her tavern as a gathering place, subtly guiding conversations to quell panic and promote unity. Her approach works because of her respected status in the community and her ability to connect with people on a personal level. However, as tensions rise, Dine finds herself torn between her loyalty to her community and her growing sympathy for Sup's cause. Her story concludes with her making a critical decision that could either save her community or plunge it into further chaos. The conflicts in Dine's life stem from her struggle to maintain order while grappling with the moral implications of Sup's revelations.
