This is a small area of hyper-accelerated time. It’s very dangerous. This exercise lasts as long as you decide it does, and you leave once you’re done—you’re not here to play hero or prove your machismo. The second you would rather be doing anything other than standing there, leave. Understood?

@Techspert

Copy.

Because this first test teaches me something about you, and something important. It could have saved several lives had I turned away students who failed.

@Techspert

*sighs*
Okay.
*does a weird body shake that ends with me kicking my leg*
Okay.

Here's your first test. And you need to listen carefully. One wrong move in this world and you're dead. So you need to do everything I say when you're in the sands or the waters, and if I say it, I mean it. I'm not going to kid around in here. Got it?

@Techspert

Why? Putting me immediately in a situation where I have no context of even starting to think in terms of time as a something different would almost certainly guarantee my death. Show me how you think, how you flow within the confines of time.

Time is an enormous construct that requires a completely different way of thinking. You saw how easily Brenna slipped through close attacks. But if you're not careful, you'll slip and time will be your downfall.

You're going to need to learn how to think across time. That's no easy task.

@Techspert

Oh, we are starting the lessons already. Got it, yeah. Think across time…kinda like predicting the movements of someone?

Please try your hardest.

@Session

*turns around and stops right before entering the sand waterfall and turns back to you*
This has a lot of meaning to my family, it’s sort of an oath I guess.
*stick out my pinky*
I pinky promise to do my best for not only me, but Time Line as well.

Please... make sure my brother's okay. I've... I've never seen him like this.

@Session

*looks at you then your arm then awkwardly pats your arm and holds your hand*
Y-yeah. I will make sure he is good.
*smiles awkwardly in a genuine attempt to comfort you*

*Glances at Midnight and then back at you*
Just... you're going to have to prove yourself.
*A waterfall of sand opens in front of us, and I step through*
Come on.

@Techspert

*holsters it and follows*
