* '''Deconstructed''': Iwan Tumuch XIII lament how much they have lost and how they don't deserve what happened to them. The story goes through generations demonstrating their actions compared to other examples from other social classes. The Tumuchs enjoyed every advantage yet consistently squandered countless opportunities as 'beneath their dignity' and were shown to greatly prefer theft and violence over any sort of remotely honest work - even with ample assets that could have provided an easy life to productively manage with their educations. Even after their 'fall from grace' they are still far better off than any member of the middle class and could have turned it around at any time if they weren't so stubbornly hung up on the idea of being an aristocrat.
