Since ancient times, the only way for someone to keep a secret has been through coercion or inducement. Overall, however, inducement proves to be far more effective than coercion.
Take the one hundred and eight generals of old, for example; they were all forced into a life of banditry. The more they were pressed, the more they resisted. In the end, it was the inducements that worked.
Although Elaine doesn’t consider herself a hero, she realizes she cannot pass tests even heroes might struggle with. This luxurious tropical island in the South Pacific lay right before her, and she found herself unable to reach out to the outside world, held back by the threat looming over her. Consequently, Claire let out a sigh of relief.
Regardless of how things have settled, she only hoped that being away from his family allowed Charlie to focus entirely on his quest for revenge without any distractions. Yet, thinking of Charlie, her heart immediately swelled with yearning.
In truth, people are not afraid of passionate love. The intense, earth-shattering kind that strikes like a tsunami dissipates quickly. One day, a person may be willing to die for their beloved, only to feel foolish for that sentiment the next, unable to sustain such fervor.
