Today's visitor was the Queen of Smiles herself, Miss Uriah! I heard she's a member of the Lumopolis Dawn Choir. Not only did she have a great voice but that smile was to die for! She just got to the Colossus and has already won everybody over!
On top of presents for us all, she also reminded everyone to mind their steps and not trip over her vines... Wait, what? Vines? Is that her power? If you don't look closely, you'd miss how they're a part of her!
Okay, we're getting more and more weirdos on the Colossus now...

I'm Uriah. Thanks for your trust in my abilities. Looking forward to working together.
You seem interested in my "Flower of Prayer." Yes, that is the name for this cross-shaped blade. They might look intimidating, but they're my defense and offense. Don't worry, they won't scrape my feet. Thanks for the concern! Of course, I have more options, like the brambles beneath my feet. Please be kind to them. When you get hurt, they're probably even more mindful than I am!
I look like I have a good temper? That may be true, but don't you know you should always be leery of nice people?

I do get in a bad mood, it's just that the Vines of Prayer take a lot of it off my shoulders... I feel fulfilled when healing others.
Sans the Vines, I think... I know I can't maintain the inner peace required for me to keep calm and collected in any situation, whether it's singing in a choir or presiding over a funeral.
Huh? That takes away from the personal touch? No, how can it? This way, I can pray for anyone without bias or private agenda, regardless of what one did, including betrayal and deceit.

The whole Lumopolis was in chaos that year. I was supposed to evacuate with the academy to somewhere safe, but I never imagined... Now that I think about it, maybe it's fate?
When I delivered the secret missive about my parents, the recipient looked at the 14-year-old me with great confusion... Exactly the way you're looking at me now. I didn't notice it back then. Can you guess what the missive said? It recommended me, who had no combat ability, for the coalition forces! I was scared and hesitant, but I didn't have any other choice at the time but to step onto the battlefield.
In retrospect, that was probably a turning point. One should experience everything in life, don't you think? An unusual life like mine doesn't happen every day!

Everything followed logically afterward. I could guess the reason after I got back from the war. But what could I do? My family held no authority or power. Even with my abilities, I couldn't do damage to anyone...
I could only carry on like before—sing and pray... Kept me busy and trust all my issues and questions to the Vines of Prayer.
Nowadays, I do just choir performances and funerals. Partly to make a living, partly because it's a way to keep my heart and soul at peace.
Did that sound somewhat boring? Maybe so, but that's all I can do right now, even though it's probably not very helpful... However, compared to my old self, this is likely what I should be pursuing.
