"There were many things about Ki that mystified people. Even their friends, who had known them for years, couldn't uncover every single one of their mysteries. One such mystery remained a secret to everyone but Mikko for the longest time. Not even Ki themselves knew what to make of it for most of their life.

Beneath their cowl, a perplexing symbol lay hidden. It was rarely shown to others, as Ki didn't enjoy the questions that inevitably arised, but no one who had seen it could tell Ki what it meant and how it had appeared. As far as Ki knew, they had had it since birth, or at the very least since they were a small child.

Try as they might, Ki struggled to figure out its meaning (if it indeed had any), but their pursuits of knowledge always ended in failure. Until one day, when a certain happenstance struck".
