Bouquet: Nice flowers.

Glowshard: The Glowshard is an item found hidden inside a hole in ??????. If checked in the inventory, it states its use is unknown. The Glowshard can be used in battle to immediately allow for a Rudinn to be spared. It disappears in the process.

Weaknesses: Seems shy and meek, otherwise nothing notable.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• FIGHT: Self Explanatory. Once the FIGHT option is selected, a quick-time event occurs. A cursor slides across a meter from right to left. By pressing Z anytime the cursor is within the meter, the party member successfully attacks the enemy; otherwise it results in a miss. Hitting "Z" on the box located on the leftmost area of the meter deals the most damage, which emphasizes proper timing.
• ACT: A pacifist method used to make even the most violent of enemies defeated through kindness. Kris regularly does a team ACT with Susie or Ralsei.
• ITEM: Used to consume healing items.
• SPARE: An enemy can be removed from the battle with this option as they no longer want to fight, if their name is colored yellow, and a star appears beside their name.
• DEFEND: Self Explanatory. A party member is prompted to protect themselves during the enemy's turn, reducing damage and gaining TP immediately once commanded.

Note: It's revealed as of Chapter 2 that the Dark World grants people new powers and abilities, thus they do not translate over to the real world.

Note 2: Despite Kris seemingly making a dark world, due to lack of context and information it has been left as potentially far higher until we get more information on what they exactly did.

Explanations

Why attacking the SOUL is essence manipulation.
