Yoon Monan threaded his fingers through Mu Guwon’s and held on tight. A thin, almost imperceptible stream of energy flowed between them. Dulled by the psychotropic drugs he’d swallowed, Monan’s guiding was still detoxifying Guwon, slowly and faintly. Guwon studied him from up close. When this torture began, Monan had downed more than ten pills at once. Guwon couldn’t be certain, but using his ability now had to be taking a serious toll. Still, in a situation as unforgiving as trying to chop wood with a dull axe, there was nothing he could do but place his complete trust in Monan.
