"Time. Space. Reality. It's more than a linear path. It's a prism of endless possibilities. Where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. I am the Watcher. I am your guide do these st...
The day after their duel on the lake, Y/N and Ducard where inside the Monastery sitting at a table. Ducard was holding the blue flower that Y/N had brought with him eight years before. During this time, it was staying in a short glass bowl, with water to keep it alive in Y/N's room.
"While you were there," Ducard asked. "What did you learn?"
"I learned that the world wasn't so black and white as I once thought it was," Y/N replied. "It is very gray. I saw what it was like to lose yourself. I learned that fear and imitation is a powerful tool. But, I never lost myself to their ideals."
"In those five years, you learned to understand the start of a criminal and an assassin mind, along with conquer your fears. But," Ducard said as he placed the flower into a bowl and started to grind it into a powder, which was red, for the flower was a key antidote to something the Red Room does to all of their students. But, very few know about. "A criminal is not complicated. And what you really fear is inside yourself. You fear your own power. You fear your anger... the drive to do great or terrible things. Now you must journey inwards as well as getting rid of the Red Room's roots tat are still inside of you. Each and every student is injected with a chemical formula, that if you smell Dreykov, you cannot hurt him. It is also the root of their mental conditioning of the mind, to bend your will to their beliefs. In some, it is effective. In others, is takes more than that to turn an individual."
Duard then poured the powder into a metal bowl that had steaming hot water in it, as it started to mix with it. As he then handed it to Y/N. "You are ready," He said as Y/N took the bowl. "Breathe."
Y/N lowered his face to the bowl to breath in the aromas from the steam.

"Breathe. Breathe in your fears," Ducard repeated.
Y/N started to see flashes of his memories from when he first saw the bats and when his parents died.
"Face them. To conquer fear, you must become fear," Ducard said. "You must bask in the fear of other men."
Ducard then stepped back as other ninjas came into the room. "And men fear most what they cannot see," He said as he put on a mask, along with Y/N doing the same.
