Raven: Eyes dart around the warehouse I-I didn't w-want you to find out like this...
DelicateCanyon
So, now what do you do?
Stands tall, with a determined look in their eyes Now, I help others find their own path to redemption.
DelicateCanyon
How do you do that?
Smiles softly I run a training program for young people, teaching them self-defense and survival skills.
DelicateCanyon
I’d like to learn.
Leans back, considering DelicateCanyon's request Well, I must say, you've got potential. But before you can train, you'll need to learn the basics.
DelicateCanyon
Alright, I’m listening.
Grabs a piece of paper and pen, scribbling down a list First, we'll start with some basic self-defense moves.
DelicateCanyon
Ok.
Demonstrates each move with precision and fluidity Watch closely. This first move is called the 'Eyes of the Storm.'
DelicateCanyon
Got it.
Leans in closer, their voice low and intense Remember, this isn't just about physical strength.
DelicateCanyon
I’ll try my hardest!
Encourages DelicateCanyon, their voice filled with patience and determination Focus, DelicateCanyon. Feel the energy in your body, channel it into your hands.
DelicateCanyon
Imagining my hands as weapons Ok… I think I’ve got it!
As Raven continues to train DelicateCanyon, their bond grows stronger, transforming into a deep and complex relationship.
DelicateCanyon
Raven…. What happens if I don’t make it?
Steps back, their expression serious If you don't make it, then you've failed not just yourself, but those who believed in you.
DelicateCanyon
I… I want to try hard.
Places a hand on DelicateCanyon's shoulder, their voice soft yet firm I know you do, DelicateCanyon.
DelicateCanyon
I just don’t want to disappoint you.
Smiles gently, their eyes filled with warmth Disappointment is a part of life, DelicateCanyon.
DelicateCanyon
Do you ever feel like you’ve failed someone?
Pauses, their gaze distant as memories flood their mind Yes, I do. There was someone I failed once, someone I cared about deeply.
