"How are you doing, Pat?"
"Awful."
"Same."
Pat and Nick groaned at the same time, taking a swig from their gourds filled with wine. Their faces were gloomy and slightly helpless.
"I knew that this was going to be difficult. I thought I was prepared, that my mind and body were ready for this. But now..."
"Not even a glimpse, huh?"
"Yeah, none at all."
There goes another swig. Pat and Nick looked depressed, though not yet ready to quit just yet.
They're on a short break from their seclusion to elevate their concept laws to the Origin Law level. And based on how they're currently reacting, it's clear that it's not going well for them.
Some would say that it's still too early for them to be feeling this way. After all, it hasn't even been five years since they've gone into seclusion, and they're already expecting results. It wouldn't be Origin Laws if they were easy to comprehend.
