From the moment he could understand his place in the world, Valeri knew he didn't belong. Growing up, his father's shadow haunted his upbringing amongst the Anthae. Then, once sworn to Ilia, Valeri can never earn people's respect, even if he slaves away endlessly, and loudly denounces his Anthae roots. Even when he returns to his maternal people, he can't forget all the harm he's done to his kin.
It is hard to forgive yourself, even if you had no other choices.
