Those cries and screams were nightmares she couldn't shake.
The pain of flesh and the scars on the mind were gently set aside through a punishment that took away nothing but freedom.
Miranda lowered her eyes, no longer able to hide her indignation.
Before she could do anything, her teacher, Leightman, led Miranda into a more secretive department.
"Is your apprentice like you?" the person who came to meet them asked Leightman.
Leightman looked the other person up and down, swaying slightly as if he could barely stand. He replied casually, "She's nowhere near as good as me."
"Good."
Leightman turned around. "I told you before, your talent no longer belongs to you alone."
"Now prove your worth. Your troubles won't belong to you alone anymore, either."
With that, Leightman raised his eyebrows meaningfully.
Miranda looked at the person who had come to escort her.
At Leightman's words, hesitation crossed the person's face, along with a trace of regret.
Miranda smiled. "All right, teacher."
"Oh, right." Before leaving, Leightman added, "Your teacher Foster hopes you'll have a chat with her every month. Remember to call her."
"All right." Her smile was radiant, like that of a cheerful young woman.
Leightman smiled and left.
