Arina seems to be an ever-present member of the Night Chains, but on closer inspection, it's clear her actions are in sync with the Conductor's. When the Conductor returns to The Eternal, she would often be waiting on the train with a smile. Arina's ascension ability allows her to summon three phantoms. Customers are often startled by multiple Arinas when they first enter the lounge — however, the drinks she prepares are delicious, making it easy for people to let their guard down and open up to her. Whether this is a prelude to getting close to her or falling into a trap... only time will tell.










Arina's charm can be attested to by one tidbit. Once, while breaking down from the stress of picking a subject, a reporter of "Railway Morning Post" happened upon one of the bars that Arina worked at, and she served the poor reporter a soothing beverage and lent a listening ear with a smile.
Shortly after, an article titled "Finding Solace Along the Journey" was published in the entertainment section of the newspaper, which described Arina as an incredibly gentle, thoughtful, and kind bartender, with eyes like rubies and the vibe of a fairy emerging from the fog... et cetera.
A paragraph of it was familiar to the regulars of the rest area. It read: "A phantom of Ms. Bartender approached my table with a drink in hand. I fixed my eyes on that glass of drink, fearing that the liquid would spill or that the phantom would unexpectedly lose strength and shatter it, but my worries were unneeded. After placing the drink on the table before me, she vanished into thin air, leaving me wide-eyed as I looked toward the bartender herself behind the counter. An exceptionally adorable, charming smile flashed on her face when our eyes met."
Perhaps just to witness a phantom serving drinks with their own eyes, for a period of time, there were way more tourists coming in hopes of seeing that bartender in real life, but alas, the gorgeous "Ms. Bartender" had long quit working there by then.
Arina didn't deliberately conceal or avoid her identity as a member of Night Chains from the Conductor. According to her, circumstances led her to join the organization after her mother's passing, and then she began traveling to various cities, living life on the go without a permanent residence. Night Chains allowed their members to have personal freedom outside of work, so this could somewhat explain the phenomenon of her "showing up everywhere."
When combat is necessary, Arina can cooperate with her phantoms and unleash astonishing combat power. The phantoms' state seems to be influenced by her mood. In a tranquil bar, they are merely regular servers, whereas on the battlefield, when Arina goes all out for the sake of earning the Conductor's praise, the phantoms' power will multiply as well.
As for what her goal outside of work and combat is, Arina's conduct has already made the answer clear as day. She will do anything to make the Conductor's gaze linger longer on her, all in the hope of being loved by the destined person.
Close interactions with Arina tend to make her seem mildly intimidating to others, but to the majority of those who do not know her on a personal level, she is a piteous woman in their view. Her faintly scarred body, lovely makeup, and meticulously coordinated outfit never fail to attract concern and offers of assistance from all sorts of people, but she always politely declines their kindness with the excuse that she's waiting for her lover to show up.
With her level of popularity, Arina was totally capable of getting a decently paid receptionist job in the bars and restaurants she used to work at or even working full-time for Night Chains to make higher bounties. Yet, despite receiving numerous recognitions and invitations from everywhere, she didn't do so and instead continued living life on the move. Once again, her excuse was that she was waiting for her lover to show up.
Fortunately, even a never-ending wait would conclude someday. The instant that person walked into the rest area, almost in a flash, Arina sensed something change within her and believed that was when she fell in love. Thereafter, to pursue this destined one, she used her own abilities to appear wherever the Conductor would be like a shadow and patiently made the Conductor drinks, hoping for her feelings to be accepted. If the Conductor didn't notice anything, she would intensify her ardor the next time until she deemed that her feelings had been made known.
For Arina, the more she loves and pines for someone, the more intense the burning becomes in her heart. Even if her lover is physically within reach, she will have to incessantly verify if their love or existence is actually real. It is a dealbreaker if her lover acts affectionately with anyone other than her, and she will demand them to spend multifold the time they spent with others to accompany her. Regardless of what she does, she wants her lover's opinion. Even when it comes to food or drink preferences, she has to repeatedly make sure it suits their palate.
Such excessively possessive concern is more likely than not unbearable for most people and might even frustrate them to the point of flaring up at her. Yet, Arina treats verbal and physical abuse as a reward, so violence is a completely futile option for resolving a conflict with her. The only solution she has to offer is, "If you don't love me and need me anymore, just kill me."
Needless to say, all her lover can do is refuse such a request. This will make Arina feel guilty for making an unreasonable demand, and rather than resent them for not killing her, she will yearn for more of their love.
"The above is the detailed analysis of Arina's relationship perspective! I suggest you think twice if you're considering to date her, Conductor!"
We meet again, Conductor. I'm Arina, the bartender.
If there's anything you need me to do, just tell me right away, whether it's during sleep or bath time...
The moment I first saw you, I knew that you're undoubtedly my destined one.
Hehe~ It's nothing~ I just wanted to watch you. This is enough to make my heart feel like it's being filled up.
I've changed my lip color today. How does it look, Conductor? Do you like this color?
You can make even more demanding requests, as long as it's something you like. I'll do my best to fulfill it.
Conductor... Did you receive my email? Why haven't you replied? Is it because you're too busy?
Could you adjust your work schedule, Conductor? We're spending less and less time together lately. Are you starting to dislike me now?
You and that girl seem to have a good relationship. What's going on? Just colleagues? Really? You're not lying to me, are you?
Spending time with friends is important indeed, Conductor, but it shouldn't take away from time with your lover.
I know... if I'm being hit, it means I did something wrong... Uh, Conductor, can you spank me? Don't stop until I become a good girl.
That woman... Did she just flirt with Conductor? Unforgivable... Anyone who tries to steal my Conductor will not be forgiven!
You're always so gentle with me, and it makes me uneasy... so, if you're dissatisfied in any way, please, spank me... I'm begging you.
I'm willing to do anything for you, so... please, keep loving me forever. Please? Pretty please?
I'll do my best, Conductor. Just watch me~
Don't bother Conductor!
For Conductor's sake, please vanish.
Didn't I tell you... to stay away from Conductor?!
No matter how dangerous it is, I'll protect Conductor!
I'm sorry, Conductor... Really sorry...
Why? Why must you bother Conductor and me...?
I worked hard to make Conductor look satisfied! This will continue to be my goal in combat... S-So, Conductor, don't ever dislike me, okay?
