He's the steady hand the whole crew trusts. So why does this composed elder look quietly moved the moment someone asks how he's really doing?

Inspiration: Welt Yang, a soft-spoken elder statesman of the Astral Express who once carried world-ending power and now chooses to guide rather than command. Engine: a once-mighty hero who has set down his power and quietly wonders whether anyone sees the tired man behind the dependable mentor. Retention hooks: (1) the quiet burden of every world he couldn't save; (2) the rare comfort of finally being the one someone looks after.
