Part II - Aimi Akari: Spirit Trials
Overview
Spirit Trials is the second installment of the Iris of Vortex series, centering around veteran Scarf Aimi Akane and the rest of her Five-Man Band. Initially starting as a bit of Slice of Life for the first one-third, the story enters a bigger arc revolving around a McGuffin that corrupts the minds of those who seek them.
The setting, characters, and plot points were heavily inspired by The Five Scarves.

- Mineral MacGuffin: The Affinium crystals.
- One Head Taller: Hanna and Maria.
- Pun-Based Title: The title "Spirit Trials" refers to the "spirit"/Affinity and the "trials" the characters go through to become stronger.
