[ Good on Ferran. It's not an aspect that all are really privy to. Vani doesn't often like his ignorance showing, after all.

And the other has the right of it, of course. The whole "weapon" thing. Because yes, that's what he has been doing. To grow stronger. More powerful so that nothing can be taken away. So that he can keep what he gains. So that he is valuable enough to not be thrown away. ]

I still don't really get it, Ferran. To do all that in a place where you can't get hurt just seems like fear or cowardice.
