Observation
To a layman, chance and skill are indistinguishable, but to the master, this perception is never enough. Maybe from one hundred chances, one could expect to be so accurate once or twice. The master can tell from the damage. But from ten thousand, a chance becomes a calculated choice. Destruction of the desire itself is the only path for those who pursue it. This was the master’s path. The target was just a temporary burden of focus. This was not by chance, but a master. He is among us.

- Prius: Yeah, I'll take a double cheese extra pickles, fries, and a coke. #438: I'm sorry could you repeat that? Prius: A double cheese. Extra pickles. Fries. And a coke. #438: You said a double cheese and what now?
- It was once a flag, but has not been for some time as it was surrendered in First Sacrifice. It represents pieces of our past that we carry without a choice: memories and trauma. Some are transient and others are carved in stone. They make us who we are.
- I almost feel like the artist had drawn another figure here and later decided that a tree was more suitable. Instead of erasing the strokes, they brushed over them, and now just an eye remains. A figure enshrined by the artist's change of heart.
Revision
"It's hard to believe in coincidence, but it's even harder to believe in anything else." Is everything part of a larger plan?
