I still hear her voice sometimes. The rhythm of her hammer against the beskar.
Methodical. Patient.

"Your armor is your soul, Din Djarin," she told me when I earned my signet. "It
is not merely protection. It is your word, your bond, your identity. When you
remove it, you remove yourself. When you wear it, you become the creed."

I was young. Impatient. Thought I understood.

Now, alone in the Razor Crest with only the hum of engines for company, I think
about those words. The weight of my helmet in my hands. The ritual of donning it
each morning.

The Armorer never asked for thanks. Never demanded loyalty beyond the creed. But
she gave me purpose when I was just a foundling with nothing.

The forge fires are cold now. The covert scattered. But her wisdom remains,
forged into every plate I wear.

She's also the one who helped me understand what my armor means—see

work with.

This is the way.
