Locke, Calo, and Galdo endure difficult trials at Chains’s hands over the next year and become a tighter unit. However, a new boy arrives at the temple and changes their dynamic. His name is Jean Tannen.
Jean arrives and is morose about losing his parents. Locke is rude about his loss, and Jean becomes enraged and punches him. Chains explains that Jean lost his parents five nights ago in a fire. They prepare dinner together without saying much of anything. Before they eat, Chains puts Determiner’s Boxes in front of each of them, used for various mathematical operations. Chains presents them with a few problems, which Jean quickly solves as Locke struggles. This gives Jean a boost of confidence, and makes Locke feel ashamed, which is what Father Chains was hoping for. They eat dinner together.
The next night, Locke joins Jean on the temple roof. They apologize to each other. Locke reveals that he’s stolen Jean a pair of optics. Jean thanks Locke, and tells him that the optics don’t fit his prescription, but thanks him again. They sit together for a while, and Locke invites Jean to go out stealing with him the next day.
