In the utility room, Raymond carefully adjusted Arya’s grip on the dagger, gently guiding her fingers into a more precise position. "If you hold it like you did before, you’ll have to use more force to keep a tight grip when swinging it. But the longer you hold it like that, the more your fingers will stiffen, and you won’t be able to exert the same strength."
Raymond picked up a dagger himself, showing her the proper way to hold it, then made small adjustments to Arya's grip.
As Arya followed his guidance, she immediately felt a difference. Even though Raymond had only made minor tweaks, it felt more comfortable and secure. "So, it’s the smallest changes that make a huge difference," she murmured, testing the new grip.
Raymond nodded. "Exactly. Remember this grip. It might seem simple, but it’s effective."
Once Arya seemed comfortable with the new position, Raymond continued. "There’s another grip you need to learn, the reverse grip."
