The Dark Dark Room

"Haa, I sent you to protect someone, and instead, you beat the shit out of that person... gah... at least you won, right?" the Seer's voice echoed through the dimly lit room.

"It's fine. You may excuse yourself and keep working on that thing you did. Remember how it felt; try to replicate it. It should come to you like breathing," the Seer instructed.

"Yes, master. I'll train hard," Jin affirmed, as he prepared to leave the office.
