#tldr; ms terrace why is raine running around with teenagers?

[storyteller-aprendiz]

Okay, so another why the BAtTs are children/young adults theory:

My personal headcanon is that while Raine was a teacher for the Bards Coven, one of their students died protesting against the Emperor.

Like, student riots have always been a thing and they have always been very deadly (for the students). So it wouldnt be surprising that in a dictatorship like Belos' the student body found somethings to complain about: like only being able to study one type of magic. Ergo: protest! Ergo: repression.

And I think Raine harbors a lot of survivor's guilt because of that, wishing that they could have helped somehow.

So when they found this three young bards figthing against the emperor, they couldnt help but see history repeating itself again.

But of course "dont fight" doesnt work (they've tried that with their students). So they change tatics and go with: I'll fight with you.
