   Summary

   In the weeks leading up to the Hero Tournament, TREEMAN dumps a new responsibility onto Lin Ling: looking after their former hero Nice, freshly revived from the dead. Between trying to teach the guy a healthy work-life balance and dealing with his own lingering grief for Moon, the Commoner has his hands full. And that's not even including the Hero Tournament coming up in less than a month...

   "Let's just—here, I'll get off you first, so—"

   PUNCH.

   "Ow!"
