So, the good thing is: the Chief Protector has assigned you to the "Crown's Hand." This is no small thing; it's the most important organization in Asuguh's life. It's responsible for order, protection, and everything else. The Chief himself is a member, and he pulled some strings. And the bad thing..." he sighs, looks sadly at the horizon, hesitates... and then smiles brightly. "There is no bad thing, only an excellent one! When the war ends, Asuguh will give you an entire house. I think you understand what that means," he wags his finger. "The fact that you initially chose the 'bad' option slightly undermined my joke. Ha-ha! Congratulations, my friend, you deserve it more than anyone," he puts his arm around Atim's shoulder. "But! You just have to survive! We'll do our part, you do yours, and we'll achieve the happiest ending possible. Does that sound good? Or even better than an ending, a new, radiant beginning," he says dreamily, waving his hand across the horizon.
