'''Flik''' (フリック, ''Furikku'') is a character in [[Suikoden]] and [[Suikoden II]] who also makes a cameo in [[Genso Suikogaiden Vol.1]].
 
Flik is a mercenary who joined both the [[Toran Liberation Army]] and the [[New Alliance Army]]. A skilled swordsman known as the Blue Thunder, he's originally from the [[Warriors' Village]]. Though technically still on his trial of manhood, he fights to create a peaceful world for [[Odessa Silverberg|his love]].
 
==Profile==
===Appearance===
[[File:Flik (S1 portrait art).png|frameless|160px|left]]Unsurprisingly, given his sobriquet, Flik wears a blue cape and headband. In [[Suikoden]], he wears these over a breastplate, a mustard shirt, blue pants, and high, brown boots. In [[Suikoden II]], he instead wears a pale blue jacket along with black pants and boots, with blue leg guards. He wears brown gloves.


==Biography==
Physically, Flik was said to be a handsome man, a trait that got him unwanted attention from women at times, including with [[Kimberly]], [[Rina]], and [[Nina]]. [[Kawano Junko]] drew Flik's final design to her own personal tastes after her first design was rejected for not being bishonen enough. His nickname, Blue Thunder Flik, was decided before his design, influencing his blue costume.
===Suikoden===
 
{{quote| In the name of my sword Odessa, I won't let you pass! | Flik}}
===Personality===
Though Flik grew up in [[Warriors' Village]] and followed some of their traditions, such as the naming of his sword, he did not frequently return to the village and was not considered to have completed his trial of manhood.
 
Before meeting Odessa, Flik considered himself willfully ignorant of the Empire's wrong-doings, finding comfort in Warriors' Village autonomy and history of producing high-quality soldiers of the [[Imperial Army]].
 
[[File:Flik remembers Odessa's words.png|thumb|left|220px|Odessa used to criticize me a lot]]Flik was deeply in love with Odessa Silverberg. When Flik learned of Odessa's death, he went into a state of shock. He felt a great deal of guilt that he had not become the leader that he felt Odessa had wanted him to be and decided that he would have to become a better man before he met Odessa in the afterlife.
 
Odessa remained on Flik's mind throughout much of the Toran Liberation War. Despite her death, he considered himself unavailable, and even late into the night prior to the [[Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade]], he was still up late into the night thinking of Odessa.
 
Flik had a somewhat rocky relationship with [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]]; unwilling to accept him into the Toran Liberation Army at first, Flik could not understand why Odessa trusted McDohl on important assignments. After joining forces, Flik began to notice the traits Odessa had seen in McDohl. Flik became quite protective of McDohl, joining him on missions and even taking an arrow for him in Gregminster Palace.
 
[[File:Flik prepares to execute Sanchez.png|thumb|right|220px|Just another failed promise to Odessa, I guess]]During much of the Toran Liberation War, Flik was immature and hotheaded. Sanchez claimed that that immaturity was something that both he and Odessa had loved about Flik, as he was also a very honest person.
 
Due to that immaturity and rashness, Flik made some careless decisions, such as his ordering all troops to advance to [[Scarleticia Castle]] following the Toran Liberation Army's victory at the [[Fortress of Garan]] without doing any reconnaissance.
 
Flik would become more mature during the war. He gradually grew more tactical, such as when he advised McDohl that they bring Liukan to the [[Dragon's Den]], in order to make [[Joshua Levenheit]] more likely to commit to an alliance. His maturity came to fulmination when despite his rage at Sanchez, he agreed not to execute him at [[Floating Fortress of Shasarazade|Shasarazade]]. He had learned to look to the future with his comrades.
 
Years later, during the [[Dunan Unification War]], the loss of Odessa still cast a shadow over his heart from time to time. Still, he always carried Odessa's memory in his heart. Unwilling to take the easy way out, he always fought to become a man worthy of the woman he loved.
 
At first, he did not get along with [[Viktor]] at all, but over the course of the Gate Rune War, the two had built a trust on the field of battle. It was their fighting together at [[Gregminster Palace]] in order to allow McDohl to escape, however, that they became true friends, willing to trust and depend on each other without words.


Flik is a wandering swordsman who joined the [[Toran Liberation Army]] under the command of [[Odessa Silverberg]]. Born and raised in [[Warriors' Village]], Flik left the village on his [[Trial of Manhood]] and eventually became a mercenary. After a number of years working as a mercenary, Flik saved Odessa Silverberg's from some [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] soldiers; enraptured, he quickly joined her cause and eventually became Vice-Commander of the Toran Liberation Army<ref>"I must have a good long talk with Flik. After all, he was Vice-Commander of the Liberation Army." - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  
==History==
===Rebel Soldier===
{{quote| I swear on my sword Odessa, you shall not pass! | Flik}}
[[File:Flik (SP character art).png|thumb|frameless|180px|right|Flik c.453 as depicted in [[Suikoden STAR LEAP]]]]
Flik is a wandering swordsman. Born and raised in [[Warriors' Village]], Flik left the village on his [[Manhood Ceremony]] and eventually became a mercenary. Around [[Solar calendar|SY]] 453, after a number of years working as a mercenary, Flik saved [[Odessa Silverberg]] from some [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] soldiers while on the road to [[Gregminster]]. Enraptured, he quickly joined her cause and eventually became Vice-Commander of the [[Toran Liberation Army]].


When the hideout at [[Lenankamp]] was attacked, Flik fled to [[Kunan]]<ref>"After the hideout at Lenankamp was attacked, I escaped toward Milich's domain in the west." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. There, Flik tried to round up the scattered former soldiers of the Toran Liberation Army, but when there was a sudden crackdown on rebel factions within the area, many of these former soldiers were captured<ref>"I was out there rounding up the former soldiers of the Liberation Army who were scattered all over the place. Suddenly there was a crackdown on the rebel factions, and many of our comrades were captured." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. After hearing of a revived Toran Liberation Army at [[Toran Castle]], Flik mustered his remaining troops and headed there.  
As a swordsman, he gained the title "Blue Thunder Flik" due to his blue clothing and sharp swordsmanship. Over time, he and Odessa would fall in love with one another and become a couple all while Flik continued to serve as a soldier in the fledgling Liberation Army.


Once he arrived, Flik heard of Odessa's death and was overcome with grief. Even after calming down, Flik was unable to accept Tir as the leader of the Toran Liberation Army but agreed to join forces to help rescue their comrades who had been captured by Milich.

After hearing of a revived Toran Liberation Army at [[Toran Castle]], Flik mustered his remaining troops and headed there.  


However, Flik's hotheadedness remained an issue as he led the Toran Liberation Army to a [[First Battle at Scarleticia Castle|dismal defeat at Scarleticia Castle]]; following the Toran Liberation Army's victory in the [[Battle at Fortress of Garan]], Flik urged that the Toran Liberation Army continue forward, against the advice of [[Mathiu Silverberg]]. Quickly defeated by Milich Oppenheimer's poisonous flowers, the Toran Liberation Army was forced to withdraw.  
[[File:Flik demands to know Odessa's whereabouts.png|thumb|left|220px|She, uh, she went fishing?]]Once he arrived, Flik heard of Odessa's death and was overcome with grief. Flik was unable to accept [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]] as the leader of the Toran Liberation Army but after calming down and realizing how his reaction would have disappointed Odessa, agreed to join forces to help rescue their comrades who had been captured. Flik's hotheadedness remained an issue as he led the Toran Liberation Army to a [[First Battle at Scarleticia Castle|dismal defeat at Scarleticia Castle]].  


During the [[Gate Rune War]], Flik gradually came to mature and accept Tir as a leader. When Tir McDohl made the unpopular decision to pardon Milich Oppenheimer, Flik backed Tir <ref>"That's enough, Viktor. It's the leader's decision. Follow his orders." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
However, Flik gradually came to mature and accept McDohl as a leader. When McDohl made the unpopular decision to pardon [[Milich Oppenheimer]], Flik supported him and accepted him as the true leader of the Liberation Army. From that moment on, Flik would fight as a productive, invaluable member of the rebel forces.


Following the Toran Liberation Army's success in the [[The Last Battle (Suikoden)|last battle]], Flik requested that he be part of the party that would infiltrate [[Gregminster Palace]], in order to gain revenge for Odessa's death with his own hands<ref>"Tir, I mean Commander, take me with you. I want to avenge Odessa's death with my own hands." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and choose to stay behind in the palace in order to protect Tir from Scarlet Moon Empire troops eager to avenge Barbarosa.  
[[File:Flik takes a stand at Gregminster Palace.png|thumb|right|220px|With his vow, Flik became immortal]]Following the [[The Last Battle (Suikoden)|last battle]], Flik requested that he be part of the party that would infiltrate [[Gregminster Palace]], in order to gain revenge for Odessa's death with his own hands and choose to stay behind in the palace in order to protect McDohl from Scarlet Moon Empire troops eager to avenge [[Barbarossa Rugner]]. Confronting hordes of Imperial soldiers, Flik declared he could not die until he could meet Odessa again as a better man.


Following the end of the Toran Liberation War, Flik simply disappeared<ref>"Disappears during the final battle." - Flik's Ending Text ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
Following the end of the Toran Liberation War, Flik disappeared. Despite being missing, however, none of the Liberation Army doubted his survival. In the immediate aftermath of the war, he and Flik had hid out in an inn in a nearby village to avoid the remnants of the Imperial Army.


==Personality and Traits==
===Dunan Mercenary===
Though Flik grew up in [[Warrior's Village]] and followed some of their traditions, such as the naming of his sword<ref>"In the name of my sword Odessa, I will take your head!" - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, he did not frequently return to the village and did not complete his trial of manhood<ref>"Mr. Flik still hasn't finished his own journey to manhood!" - Tengaar ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
[[File:Flik blocks the escape route.png|thumb|left|220px|Geez, Flik. You used to be cool.]]After the end of the [[Gate Rune War]], Flik and [[Viktor]] travelled to the [[City-States of Jowston]]. Although their personalities often clashed, they both relied heavily on the other and had a bond forged through battle and their experiences as part of the [[Toran Liberation Army]]. In the City-State, they were hired by [[Anabelle]], Mayor of [[Muse City]] to form a mercenary company.


Physically, Flik was said to be a handsome man<ref>"You're a handsome fellow." - Kimberly ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, a trait that got him unwanted attention from women at times, including with [[Kimberly]], [[Rina]], and [[Nina]].  
He and Viktor found a [[Hero (Suikoden II)|youth]] in the river near their [[Mercenary Fortress]] after jumping from [[Tenzan Pass]]. Taking him back, they kept him captive and took care of him. When the youth and [[Jowy Atreides]] escaped, Flik and Viktor would pursue them, rescuing them in [[Kyaro Town]] moments before their execution.


Flik was deeply in love with Odessa Silverberg. Odessa felt Flik's kindness always saw her through hard times<ref>"If you... ever see Flik again, tell him that his kindness always saw me through hard times..." - Odessa Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Highly protective of Odessa, Flik did not wish that she go on missions without him<ref>"What? If you're going, I'm going too." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  Despite their love, Odessa criticized Flik's performance as a leader in the Toran Liberation Army<ref>"It's about time you began acting like a leader." - Odessa Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
[[File:Flik confronts Anabelle.png|thumb|right|220px|Don't you use OUR child soldiers as spies!]]Once the [[Dunan Unification War]] broke out, the mercenary army was charged with the defense of Muse City. Flik would accept the help of the youth he had found after testing him in a duel to prove his prowess. Although Flik initially viewed the hero as a youth to be protected, he would grow to realize his talents and the two would become equal partners in the fight against the [[Highland Kingdom]].


When Flik learned of Odessa's death, he went into a state of shock<ref>"Master Tir, Flik is in shock after hearing about Lady Odessa. He's not usually like that." - Sanchez ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  He felt a great deal of guilt that he had not become the leader that he felt Odessa had wanted him to be<ref>"Odessa used to say to me, 'You should be more aware of your position as a leader.' Those words are coming back to haunt me. Maybe she knew that her death was imminent. But I was unworthy of her expectations." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and decided that he would have to become a better man before he met Odessa in the afterlife<ref>"It's a bit too early to see Odessa again. Our reunion can wait until I become a better man." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Flik strove to make Odessa's dream a reality and she remained on Flik's mind throughout much of the Toran Liberation War. Despite her death, he considered himself unavailable<ref>"Who, me? I-I can't. I have someone..." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, and even late into the night prior to the [[Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade]], he was still up late into the night thinking of Odessa<ref>"Oh, nothing. Just thinking." - Flik<br>"About...Lady Odessa?" - Sanchez ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  
As the war would continue and the hero would ascend to lead the [[New Alliance Army]], Flik saw Odessa's ambitions for peace in the hero just as he had previously seen [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]] inherit her ambitions some years before. This is what inspired Flik to continue fighting for the New Alliance Army until the very end.


Flik had a somewhat rocky relationship with Tir; unwilling to accept him into the Toran Liberation Army at first<ref>"No way. Recently many of our hideouts have been discovered. There must be a spy among us. with all the problems we already have, we can't afford to recruit complete strangers." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, Flik could not understand why Odessa trusted Tir on important assignments<ref>"Odessa, I just don't get it. Why do you insist on this guy? He may be an Imperial spy. Yet you want to give him the blueprint for something that could change the destiny of the Liberation Army?" - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. When Flik learned that Tir had followed Odessa as leader, he became furious, unable to believe that Tir could ever live up to Odessa. Even after coming out of the shock brought on by Odessa's death, Flik was unable to accept Tir as leader of the Toran Liberation Army<ref>"Tir I can't accept you as a leader yet." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, but trusted Tir enough to form an alliance with him. After joining forces, Flik began to notice the traits Odessa had seen in Tir<ref>"Tir. I'm beginning to understand why Odessa chose you. You'd better live up to Odessa's, and Gremio's, expectations." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Flik became quite protective of Tir, joining him on missions and even taking an arrow for him in Gregminster Palace.
[[File:Flik rescues Teresa.png|thumb|left|220px|The last woman I swore to protect? Hey, don't worry about it]]Flik played a pivotal role in the New Alliance Army's infiltration of [[Greenhill City]]. Investigating the city for traces of the missing acting mayor [[Teresa Wisemail]], Flik would save [[Fitcher]] from an angry mob and also rescue [[Nina]] from an altercation with a [[Highland Soldier|Highland soldier]]. That would win him Nina's heart, a trophy he most certainly did not desire.


During much of the Toran Liberation War, Flik was immature and hotheaded. Sanchez claimed that that immaturity was something that both he and Odessa had loved about Flik, as he was also a very honest person<ref>"Master Flik, you are immature. But that immaturity, that honesty, was something I coveted." - Sanchez ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and that these traits were why Odessa loved Flik<ref>"And I'm sure that is why Lady Odessa loved you..." - Sanchez ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  
As the war continued, Nina would try and have Flik open up about himself and Odessa. Her jealousy caused her to dismiss Odessa as a dead person Flik was obsessed with, much to his furor. Apologizing, the two would make up but Flik also made clear no one could dislodge Odessa from his heart.


Due to his immaturity and rashness, Flik made some careless decisions, such as his ordering all troops to advance to [[Scarleticia Castle]] following the Toran Liberation Army's victory at the [[Fortress of Garan]] without doing any reconnaissance<ref>"Wrong! The enemy is careless right now. It's our chance to attack! Follow me, everybody!" - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  Flik became more mature during the war. He gradually grew more tactical, such as when he advised Tir that they bring Liukan to the [[Dragon's Den]], in order to make [[Joshua Levenheit]] more likely to commit to an alliance<ref>"Tir, this is our chance. He'll end up owing us a favor." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
Once the Dunan Unification War came to a close, it seemed like Flik could have taken up a key position in the new [[Dunan Republic]]. Instead, like he did three years prior, Flik would leave the country he helped create and would continue on a journey with Viktor.

Appearances

Flik (フリック, Furikku) is a character in Suikoden and Suikoden II who also makes a cameo in Genso Suikogaiden Vol.1.

Flik is a mercenary who joined both the Toran Liberation Army and the New Alliance Army. A skilled swordsman known as the Blue Thunder, he's originally from the Warriors' Village. Though technically still on his trial of manhood, he fights to create a peaceful world for his love.

Profile

Appearance

Unsurprisingly, given his sobriquet, Flik wears a blue cape and headband. In Suikoden, he wears these over a breastplate, a mustard shirt, blue pants, and high, brown boots. In Suikoden II, he instead wears a pale blue jacket along with black pants and boots, with blue leg guards. He wears brown gloves.

Physically, Flik was said to be a handsome man, a trait that got him unwanted attention from women at times, including with Kimberly, Rina, and Nina. Kawano Junko drew Flik's final design to her own personal tastes after her first design was rejected for not being bishonen enough. His nickname, Blue Thunder Flik, was decided before his design, influencing his blue costume.

Personality

Though Flik grew up in Warriors' Village and followed some of their traditions, such as the naming of his sword, he did not frequently return to the village and was not considered to have completed his trial of manhood.

Before meeting Odessa, Flik considered himself willfully ignorant of the Empire's wrong-doings, finding comfort in Warriors' Village autonomy and history of producing high-quality soldiers of the Imperial Army.

Odessa used to criticize me a lot

Flik was deeply in love with Odessa Silverberg. When Flik learned of Odessa's death, he went into a state of shock. He felt a great deal of guilt that he had not become the leader that he felt Odessa had wanted him to be and decided that he would have to become a better man before he met Odessa in the afterlife.

Odessa remained on Flik's mind throughout much of the Toran Liberation War. Despite her death, he considered himself unavailable, and even late into the night prior to the Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade, he was still up late into the night thinking of Odessa.

Flik had a somewhat rocky relationship with McDohl; unwilling to accept him into the Toran Liberation Army at first, Flik could not understand why Odessa trusted McDohl on important assignments. After joining forces, Flik began to notice the traits Odessa had seen in McDohl. Flik became quite protective of McDohl, joining him on missions and even taking an arrow for him in Gregminster Palace.

Just another failed promise to Odessa, I guess

During much of the Toran Liberation War, Flik was immature and hotheaded. Sanchez claimed that that immaturity was something that both he and Odessa had loved about Flik, as he was also a very honest person.

Due to that immaturity and rashness, Flik made some careless decisions, such as his ordering all troops to advance to Scarleticia Castle following the Toran Liberation Army's victory at the Fortress of Garan without doing any reconnaissance.

Flik would become more mature during the war. He gradually grew more tactical, such as when he advised McDohl that they bring Liukan to the Dragon's Den, in order to make Joshua Levenheit more likely to commit to an alliance. His maturity came to fulmination when despite his rage at Sanchez, he agreed not to execute him at Shasarazade. He had learned to look to the future with his comrades.

Years later, during the Dunan Unification War, the loss of Odessa still cast a shadow over his heart from time to time. Still, he always carried Odessa's memory in his heart. Unwilling to take the easy way out, he always fought to become a man worthy of the woman he loved.

At first, he did not get along with Viktor at all, but over the course of the Gate Rune War, the two had built a trust on the field of battle. It was their fighting together at Gregminster Palace in order to allow McDohl to escape, however, that they became true friends, willing to trust and depend on each other without words.

History

Rebel Soldier

I swear on my sword Odessa, you shall not pass!

—  Flik
Flik c.453 as depicted in Suikoden STAR LEAP

Flik is a wandering swordsman. Born and raised in Warriors' Village, Flik left the village on his Manhood Ceremony and eventually became a mercenary. Around SY 453, after a number of years working as a mercenary, Flik saved Odessa Silverberg from some Scarlet Moon Empire soldiers while on the road to Gregminster. Enraptured, he quickly joined her cause and eventually became Vice-Commander of the Toran Liberation Army.

As a swordsman, he gained the title "Blue Thunder Flik" due to his blue clothing and sharp swordsmanship. Over time, he and Odessa would fall in love with one another and become a couple all while Flik continued to serve as a soldier in the fledgling Liberation Army.

When the hideout at Lenankamp was attacked, Flik fled to Kunan. Flik tried to round up the scattered former soldiers of the Toran Liberation Army, but when there was a sudden crackdown on rebel factions within the area, many of these former soldiers were captured. After hearing of a revived Toran Liberation Army at Toran Castle, Flik mustered his remaining troops and headed there.

She, uh, she went fishing?

Once he arrived, Flik heard of Odessa's death and was overcome with grief. Flik was unable to accept McDohl as the leader of the Toran Liberation Army but after calming down and realizing how his reaction would have disappointed Odessa, agreed to join forces to help rescue their comrades who had been captured. Flik's hotheadedness remained an issue as he led the Toran Liberation Army to a dismal defeat at Scarleticia Castle.

However, Flik gradually came to mature and accept McDohl as a leader. When McDohl made the unpopular decision to pardon Milich Oppenheimer, Flik supported him and accepted him as the true leader of the Liberation Army. From that moment on, Flik would fight as a productive, invaluable member of the rebel forces.

With his vow, Flik became immortal

Following the last battle, Flik requested that he be part of the party that would infiltrate Gregminster Palace, in order to gain revenge for Odessa's death with his own hands and choose to stay behind in the palace in order to protect McDohl from Scarlet Moon Empire troops eager to avenge Barbarossa Rugner. Confronting hordes of Imperial soldiers, Flik declared he could not die until he could meet Odessa again as a better man.

Following the end of the Toran Liberation War, Flik disappeared. Despite being missing, however, none of the Liberation Army doubted his survival. In the immediate aftermath of the war, he and Flik had hid out in an inn in a nearby village to avoid the remnants of the Imperial Army.

Dunan Mercenary

Geez, Flik. You used to be cool.

After the end of the Gate Rune War, Flik and Viktor travelled to the City-States of Jowston. Although their personalities often clashed, they both relied heavily on the other and had a bond forged through battle and their experiences as part of the Toran Liberation Army. In the City-State, they were hired by Anabelle, Mayor of Muse City to form a mercenary company.

He and Viktor found a youth in the river near their Mercenary Fortress after jumping from Tenzan Pass. Taking him back, they kept him captive and took care of him. When the youth and Jowy Atreides escaped, Flik and Viktor would pursue them, rescuing them in Kyaro Town moments before their execution.

Don't you use OUR child soldiers as spies!

Once the Dunan Unification War broke out, the mercenary army was charged with the defense of Muse City. Flik would accept the help of the youth he had found after testing him in a duel to prove his prowess. Although Flik initially viewed the hero as a youth to be protected, he would grow to realize his talents and the two would become equal partners in the fight against the Highland Kingdom.

As the war would continue and the hero would ascend to lead the New Alliance Army, Flik saw Odessa's ambitions for peace in the hero just as he had previously seen McDohl inherit her ambitions some years before. This is what inspired Flik to continue fighting for the New Alliance Army until the very end.

The last woman I swore to protect? Hey, don't worry about it

Flik played a pivotal role in the New Alliance Army's infiltration of Greenhill City. Investigating the city for traces of the missing acting mayor Teresa Wisemail, Flik would save Fitcher from an angry mob and also rescue Nina from an altercation with a Highland soldier. That would win him Nina's heart, a trophy he most certainly did not desire.

As the war continued, Nina would try and have Flik open up about himself and Odessa. Her jealousy caused her to dismiss Odessa as a dead person Flik was obsessed with, much to his furor. Apologizing, the two would make up but Flik also made clear no one could dislodge Odessa from his heart.

Once the Dunan Unification War came to a close, it seemed like Flik could have taken up a key position in the new Dunan Republic. Instead, like he did three years prior, Flik would leave the country he helped create and would continue on a journey with Viktor.
