Rui grew curious at her words, following her about as she guided him to a particular region.

Something similar happens with all the senses until the only thing left to focus on is one's self. We serve them only the freshest and most healthiest of food with detoxing agents as they begin a long process of inner purification."
"Inner purification?" Rui raised an eyebrow.
