For many years, the Conduit had believed that the special bond he’d experienced with his former student, Christian Severance, was an enigma that could never be found again.

Alan Sants had just proven him wrong.

In fact, this relationship was far stronger. It had taken the Conduit much longer with Severance to lead him down the right pathway and when the fireworks finally did go off, and go off they did, he’d still had some doubts about him. Severance had been driven, and tenacious, but he was also torn. He wanted revenge on those that had wronged him, but he did not believe in collateral damage. He still held on to some broken belief in innocence.

Alan was different. He was just as driven, and as tenacious, but there was no sign of him being torn. Alan knew exactly what he wanted. For the first time in his life he had a purpose, and nothing would stand in his way.

His cool and methodical execution of Mickey was nothing short of genius.

He’d not asked for the Conduit’s help, nor had he needed any help. His plan, so far, had moved with perfection. To know that Eddie McLarney would scurry here like a rat from a sinking ship … the confidence! The audacity!

It’d taken time and effort to prep the fireworks with Severance. With Alan, he’d merely lit the fuse!

His new student ended the visualisation, and Eddie slumped backwards, twitching and dribbling.

Alan turned to look at him. ‘He said he’d accepted it.’

‘I know. I heard.’

‘So, now what do I do?’

‘Now you must make a choice.’

‘Go on.’

‘About how you wish to heal him.’

‘I want to alleviate his suffering, make him healthy again.’

‘Too obvious. To be healthy is merely the absence of disease, and to feel good. What do you think will make young Eddie feel good? What is his disease?’

‘The mask he wears. The face he shows to the world. It’s not really him.’

‘So, now you know what you have to do. His acceptance is no good if it makes him persevere with his disguise … his false veneer. Turn his acceptance to rejection. Make the darkness in that memory destructive again. You can do that, Alan. Easily. Because this is the point that he is poised delicately between clarity and disarray. The sweet spot.’

‘Yes,’ Alan said, widening his eyes. ‘And when he reaches his lowest point, I’ll make him take off the mask.’

‘Bravo!’
