Episode 5 : Because of You

The dust settles and the road opens up. In this quieter, character-driven chapter, the two distinct parties finally take a breath to formally introduce themselves. Sunni and Rai shed light on their shared history as chocobo ranchers, while Karagin and Illaria uncover the surprising truth of their previous, fateful meeting. As the group navigates their differences and a moving poem entitled "Because of You" is shared, they make a solemn, unified vow: to stand as Illaria’s guardians and see her journey through to the end.
