Nina said that it was wrong to kill her. Nina and her kind heart, the one who always tried to see the good in

And so, | would train day in and day out, relentlessly, until my fists were bloody stumps and my heart was full of

"It'll cup sooner than we realize," | said. "Are you ready?"
"As I'll ever be."
