The Decision

 Amidst his despair, Linri suddenly started to feel sleepy. His crippling fear started to subside. Now that he got a grip on his thoughts Linri automatically repeated his dogma.

1- Calm down; discard all unnecessary emotions. Anger, fear, anxiety, happiness, sadness, desperation, pain; everything. Emotions cloud your judgement so you have to learn to control them.

His fear was locked up deep in his heart. After this fight was over he was still going to confront his fear. He didn't know how to handle such a thing. Despite his nonchalant attitude to most things and his arrogance, he had a weak will.

He was not bothered by pain but that was not because he could grit his teeth and welcome it. That was because he was used to it.
