This humble monk feels that if he leaves you alone that it will end poorly. [ A soft chuckle. ] You have escaped one tragedy that altered your life, but the life you are leading now will lead to another tragedy in the future. I would like to see you avoid that, Xu Shu.

[ His head bows low, even though the young man can't see it. ] If you face too many setbacks, you will start to question which foot to walk with ... and remain stationary. Such a fate would be too sad to watch. [ His chin lifts a little. ]

My other face ... his feelings are different than my own. [ 'Tenkai' tilts his head. ] Daud said, he cannot talk to you anymore, but this is not talking. It is answering. There is no conversation to be had here. [ His shoulders shake as he giggles. ] He likes you. He likes you, because you are sharp. You are clever. You are someone that has thousands of ghosts following you.

He can see them. He can always see them. But you do not recognize the reason for why they are reaching out to you. You have a lot of conviction inside of you. You have a lot of determination within you. You allow that man to be in control of both. [ His eyes shift to look to the flames. ] So we are interested ... I wish to prevent your fall. He wishes to see you soar.

[ A smile is felt in his next words: ] Both of us are hoping for your success.
