The next day I was back in the old man's laboratory after I had formed my 'body'. This time I would ask him about the learning method, as he seemed to be that knowledgeable.
As usual, he was bent fiddling with something and muttering to himself. Was there a time when he wasn't doing that? But anyway, this was something that had to be done.
"Old man, can you teach me?"
He answered without looking back at me in a calm tone without any hint of confusion like he usually did.
"But I thought I'm already teaching you about bombs. Is there anything else I'm supposed to teach you?"
He answered coherently in a normal voice! This might be one of his rare sane moments! I have a chance.
"I want you to teach me how to train my Hani."
There was a pause in his work.
