I won't argue. How about this, then? As soon as you don't think you can keep it up, just let me know.

For all these years, I've always wondered... just how much longer can I do this? How much longer do I want to do this?

And it wasn't until now that I finally realized the answer isn't for me to decide.

The Chi Xiao has gotten pretty rusty in my hand lately. I wonder just when will I finally understand? Shadowless doesn't mean to chase after shadows or let go. Instead, it's to never look back.

'As sword ere shadow's trace, cast off as cast.'
