Plans

Ning fell silent. He didn't know what to say. 

At some level, he realized that this was all partly his fault. He had known that revealing the absorption technique to the world would have some level of negative effect, not he society with people being drunk off of power.

However, that was just a distant thought for him at the time. It was like learning about a car accident on the news.

You would feel a little bad for the ones that got into the accident, but not think for a second more.

However, if the accident were to happen right in front of you, that was when you felt the horror of what an accident was like.

To Ning, the problems his scrolls would cause were simply part of daily life. Something that was bound to happen.

However, when he saw it first hand, he truly realized that his actions had consequences.

He had been so focused on taking down the Tower, that he didn't stop to think for more than a moment if he really should have.
