After accepting Undying Eternal Punishment, Lanchi had not suffered the inhuman pain she had expected. He even looked completely at ease, as if it had cost him nothing.
But that was precisely what kept Talia from fully relaxing.
Some debts were only borrowed. The time to repay them simply had not yet come.
