The Great Purpose (Gedatsu no Taigan)

Masako follows Yūgen no Michi (The Way of Profound Grace), utilizing a highly active version of The Obsidian Fast. She does not lock herself in a dark room. Instead, she turns her entire temple into an engine of stillness. By expertly maintaining absolute neutrality amidst the chaotic politics of the Kikon-jin, she acts as the eye of the storm. She believes that if she can maintain perfect, diplomatic peace long enough, her Akuryo will simply fall asleep and starve to death, allowing her a clean transition into the afterlife.
