We head back inside this newly built base, surrounded by an always growing amount of new tunnels and halls.
Whatever Liseti tells me, this place was created to keep an army ready to fight whenever it's necessary.
The question is just if I'm being paranoid or if she lied to me.
Well, in the end, I enter a new hall which forms some kind of plaza and find the person in question.

I know she doesn't want to bully me and this is for my benefit, yet she is quite rough.

The next two hours I get battered up.
It's the first time that I'm halfway thankful for a carapace that protects me from greater harm.
I mean at the speed and force Liseti applies she has the nurses bringing her again and again new sticks to replace those she broke.
On my body that is.

Hard to believe as relentless she strikes me.
On the other side, I don't grow as exhausted as I thought.
With dread, I think about my "energy storage" and that it possibly keeps me going.

Also, maybe I grew stronger.
With time some of the sticks break because of my deflective moves.
I am not sure if I could have broken them like this before.
Yet now I'm looking quite battered.
Literally.

She's really strict with me and doesn't allow any slip-ups.

 

After another hour I'm totally finished.
I think I've got a little better, but you won't become a master fighter after just one session.
To think like this is just stupid.
However...

Now I understand!
Shit!
My brother is here! What shall I do?
I need to act fast before anything happens and look for my brother.
I stare in shock when I find him playing with a hunter.

 

"Toris!!!" (E)

"Sister?" (T)

"What are you doing there?! (E)

"I played! You said I can!" (T)

"But not with those! They are dangerous!" (E)

"You said they are friendly!" (T)

"They... The smaller ones are more like dogs. Mum and dad wouldn't allow you to approach those you don't know, right? You cannot do this!" (E)

I glare at the workers, who should have kept him away from any danger and failed miserably!
They don't seem to understand my gesture, but become distressed at the scent which conveys my displeasure I think.

 

(E)

 

The insect speech might be troubling for my brother.
But I won't say that hearable for my brother.
