Their alliance, a seemingly unlikely partnership between two seemingly contrasting personalities, throws a new twist into the already complex dynamics of the Quincy.

Their alliance, while surprising, highlights the intriguing complexities within the Sternritter ranks, hinting at potential alliances and betrayals yet to unfold.
