The Galactic Castle was known for its dark legends, but the castle itself held a grand reputation. Some swore they'd witnessed it in different colors, and some even believed the castle was a living legend.
But these weren't myths Halo and his comrades could verify right away, despite living in the castle for weeks. The castle concealed its true nature from them, perhaps because they were merely its guards.
Mill, however, had believed something different for quite some time. Ever since Halo met him on his way to the castle, when Mill had generously given him a ride, he'd made it his mission to persuade them to abandon their Purpose and leave entirely. Despite this, they'd become quite close.
The gods' mercy toward those reluctant to fulfill their Purpose lasted only three months. And all Mill wanted was for them to use that time to live well before the gods inevitably turned them into Sinners.
