"You’re well over your limit of three questions, but all right. As much as this place made me unable to keep food down for several months and gave me severe nightmares, the training does form a strong bond between the masters and their slaves. Provided the slaves survive, some aren’t allowed to outlive their utility. But still, think of it like something forged in the deepest pits of hell. It’s gruesome, but strong. And other than putting us both through hell and burning us to the ground so that we can rebuild what we had, I could think of nothing else that would be suitable for people like you and me."
