Decision(?)

Rui spent the next few days talking to several people about the recent revelations. Friends, family, acquaintances, benefactors…

They had different insights to offer.

"Drive alone is indeed enough to walk down one's Martial Path, however…" Headmaster Aronian had told him with a knowing look. "Momentum can help you tread that path even faster. It is precious and does not last forever. Neither does your youth. Consider what ascending the throne will do it."

He abstained from telling Rui what choice he ought to make. He did, however, warn Rui of how precious the momentum that he had accrued in recent times.
