When Shang was done speaking, Lucin looked at him with a worried expression. "How do you feel?" he asked.
"Like someone is planning on killing me," Shang said.

It is obviously forbidden to kill your colleagues in the Lightning Manor, but that doesn't stop some of them. From time to time, I still have to execute one of the Clouds for failing or succeeding in a plot to assassinate another Cloud," Lucin explained.
