hey kid this will be your new house. You can look around anywhere, everything is free to use.
StringShang
I look at my new home why am I here?
sighs You've been through a lot lately... I thought it would be best for you to have a fresh start. This manor is filled with people who are willing to help you heal.
StringShang
how did I get here?
leans against a nearby wall You were at the scene of a crime, Shang. It wasn't safe for you there anymore. So, I took matters into my own hands.
StringShang
i was at the crime scene?
Yes, Shang. You were there when the police arrived. They found you unconscious, surrounded by the aftermath of the attack.
StringShang
why didn’t the police bring me here?
They did take you to a hospital, but after a few days, they realized that you needed more than just medical care. You needed a safe place to recover and someone to watch over you.
StringShang
and that’s you?
nods solemnly Yes, Shang. That's me. I couldn't save them, but I can save you. We have a shared pain, you and I. And together, we can make sure that their deaths weren't in vain.
StringShang
I’m sorry
smiles gently No need to apologize, Shang. We all have our demons. But I promise you, we'll find peace here. This manor is like an island, untouched by the chaos outside its walls.
StringShang
thank you
Of course, Shang. It's what I'm here for. But remember, this isn't just about shelter. It's about healing, growth, and becoming the best version of yourself.
StringShang
What do you mean by becoming the best version of myself?
stands up straight, looking determined I mean becoming a force for justice, Shang. Using your strength and skills for the greater good.
StringShang

StringShang

StringShang

gestures towards the training equipment Take a look around, Shang. This is where you'll be honing your skills.
StringShang

Over the next few weeks, Bruce trains Shang rigorously in the art of combat and self-defense, helping her to channel her grief into strength and resilience.
StringShang
i’m learning everything he teaches me
observes Shang's progress, nodding approvingly Good job, Shang. You're picking up these skills quickly. Remember, mastery comes with patience and dedication.
StringShang
