"Perhaps my circumstances were a little different from what other true masters will tell you, but all the same…" he said. "I was cursed to not be able to connect with people - to find allies and friends - for a long time. I only realized it later, but when I broke free from that curse, I not only managed to connect with people but objects as well. Everything has a soul, even objects and yet-to-mature weapons."
