Anecdote #1: The Specter's Uninvited Motivation Talk
So, picture this: I'm standing in front of this massive obsidian gateway, and just when I think things might calm down for a second, this voice booms out of nowhere. It's deep, kind of echoey, and the first thing it says is, "Attachments bind the soul. Let them go, and you will be free."
Honestly, I almost snorted. It's like the guy has been watching too many motivational videos on YouTube.
Seriously, attachments bind the soul?
I'm trying to get through this trial, not sign up for some weird new age seminar.
And I couldn't help myself—because, you know, this is me we're talking about. I just look up at this faceless, ghostly figure and deadpan, "Cool speech. Do you do motivational seminars, or is this strictly a one-time gig?"
