During the two months of travel, Ves spent most of his time puzzling over the Skull Architect's designs.
Wary of traps, Ves approached them with caution, causing him to take a bit longer than he liked to achieve significant progress.
With his Spirituality still in recovery, Ves keenly felt the difference between his current state and his optimal state.
His passion, energy and drive suffered a lot, forcing him to push through his work even if he would rather do something else.
"A mech designer must be dedicated to his craft." Ves whispered to himself. "How can I call myself a lover of mechs when I can't sustain my interest through tougher times?"
He considered his difficulties to be a test of his perseverance. It was easy to get caught up in designing mechs when he enjoyed the experience. Yet Ves couldn't always keep delaying until he entered in the right mood.
