           ❝ I NEED THIS. ❞  It’s hard to look him in the eye when she feels like she’s begging. After all this time, she’s still not used to asking for help. She doesn’t know Chozen that well; doesn’t know how he operates, or what appeals to him. How to earn enough of his respect that he’ll teach her this technique. She wonders, what did Daniel say to him about her? What does he know?  Hopefully not too much.  There are things that, she’s sure if he knew, he wouldn’t want to teach her at all. The whole thing is nerve-wracking, but she sees it as a new challenge in itself.  And Tory never backs down from a challenge.

           ❝ I don’t know how much Mr. L has told you, but I have this habit of getting into fights. ❞  She confesses as she steadies herself, finally dragging her gaze upwards to meet his.  Look him right in the eye.   ❝ I’ve been an angry person for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a hard time controlling it. Something will happen, and I’ll completely lose it. ❞  Tory has to stop, and breathe, and remind herself why she’s doing this. Why she has to say this at all.  ❝ I can’t be that person anymore. I can’t keep doing the same things over and over and hating myself for it. If I keep holding on to this hate I have for myself, it’ll kill me. ❞  Another deep breath, this time calmer, following the meditation techniques that her sensei taught her. Clenched fists unravel, hanging at her sides.  ❝ I know how to start a fight. I need to learn how to stop it. So I don’t have to keep escalating. So no one has to get hurt anymore. ❞

chozen toguchi  ,   it’s been a little rough lately. it’s nice to have people look out for you.

                  ‘ hey — if things were rough, you know you could’ve reached out sooner, ’ despite their past being what it was, daniel didn’t enjoy seeing anyone struggle. not only that, but chozen had proven to be a good ally, and a good friend. so daniel meant it when he said that chozen could rely on him. ‘ whatever you need, i’m your guy, ’     @teachhonor​.
