She knew very well what it was like to lose herself, whether or not anyone would believe it of her now.

"As for us older students? Well winning is a kind of learning too you know? If its an unfair duel then knowing what it feels like to win it and being able to think back on how you did it, its important. Maybe it doesn't feel good but its still important to know what it feels like and to know whether or not you have it in you to be merciless." Her uncle always did say that mercy was a weakness. Cela herself thought it was a strength but it was still something she was able to put to one side at times. Expression musing, Cela went back to glancing around the room to see if anyone needed help. That and thinking about coupons.
