* AuthorFilibuster: Chris has a checklist on {{UsefulNotes/Taoism}} and crosses subjects off the list everytime he opens his mouth. To summarize: The world is best as is, ''don't act''. Follow the road of [[HarmonyVersusDiscipline Discipline]] and bad things will happen. Nothing can be taught, everything must be experienced: words are meaningless and unnecessary, they can only do harm.

* SinkOrSwimMentor: Chris is rather tight-lipped on the subject of exactly what Juna's supposed to be doing or how she should accomplish it. He usually just chucks her into the action and tells her to figure it out herself.
