In the awkward atmosphere, Shang Jianyao curiously asked, "Doesn't it hurt?"

"It does." Phocas didn't stop lashing himself, and his voice trembled as he spoke. "But the more pain I feel, the more it makes me forget the externalities and past. It makes me see my true self."

Piak!

Phocas lashed himself again. "No, Dawn is the true self. The true self is Dawn."
