5642 A Sacred Ritual

The Zeal was a unique mech.

Its name was not.

Over the course of rebuilding the old Transcendent Punisher mech into a powerful Mark III, Ves finally couldn't hold his curiosity back anymore.

He decided to ask the living mech a direct question while he was in the process of remaking its entire frame.

"Why did your battle partner name you the Zeal? As far as I know, I already designed a third-class hero mech called the Transcendent Punisher a long time ago. The one assigned to Taon Melin was supposed to embody one of the virtues of the Ylvaine Protectorate, so the old hero mech was the first Ylvainan living mech to bear this symbolic name. I'm not too sure what happened with it, but do you feel comfortable with retaining your current name knowing that it already belongs to another machine?"
