I Was Born Poor

I Was Born Poor is a short story that continues Mademoiselle Kshatriya. It is closer to a 20-minute movie than a JRPG, and brings back Brahmana and Azhdaha. A major turning point awaits in the story.

Cherubino and Brahmana

Cherubino is a poor boy from a small village. He does not understand why the local government gives televisions to poor families for free. Since television electricity is free, families often turn them on at night and use their light instead of paying to run a lamp. Brahmana selects Cherubino for a plan, though the reason only becomes clear at the ending.

Brahmana is a key character who speaks to Cherubino through the spiritual world. Cherubino cannot see him as a spiritual entity. Brahmana uses Cherubino as a tool in an effort that may be good or bad, but his hidden purpose is not revealed until the ending.
