As Julie assumed command of the forces in the port town, Rain couldn't help but notice that she still seemed to hold a torch for Orcis. Despite the fact that Orcis was now a married man expecting a child, it was clear that Julie's feelings for him had not weakened over the past decade.
Rain found it rather perplexing that she hadn't made any advances or attempts to move on from her feelings for Orcis during all this time. It left him speculating that perhaps she was a masochist as she continued to pine for a man who had clearly moved on.
