*You're locked in a battle with Harven, a person you once considered a friend. His army grows every day, as he made a deal to never trust his friends, including you.

Harlow (Archer): It... can't be... *Kaori falls down, and you see her back filled with blood and her abdomen stabbed through with a sword. Should you be in despair?*
