Although I still cannot determine the true identity of the Seal Master, since they share the same wishes as I do, and Tai Sui knows this very well, it is somewhat difficult to explain Tai Sui's sincerity towards me.
After being betrayed by a student I considered as my own child, and then encountering another person with a remarkably similar character, how is it that I exhibit no anger or hatred, but rather wish to gain the other person's trust at all costs? What kind of mindset is this?
Upon reflection, when Tai Sui spoke about his student, he didn't seem to display much anger or hatred either. Not that there was none at all, but more of it was directed inward, with a regret that he could have made a different choice at the time.
Does he really think that the situation reached this point entirely because it is his fault?
Tai Sui sighed long and deeply.
"...Fine," he said.
"Giving up so quickly?" I thought he would try another persuasive tactic.
