“You must never let another enter your mind” Betty told her young son. “If they do, they can learn what you know and use that against us.” She continued firmly. The young boy sat on a stool of a dank pub that smelled of more than just the booze and the bad food they sold. The boy watched his mother carefully, as he had been doing since they got there this morning. This was where his mother did plenty of her work. It was a break time from work, which meant class talk instead of simply reading books on various subjects. The subject for right now was something that it seemed that his mother found very important. The lecture continued, explaining why it was important to block one's mind. Especially when one worked in the business of information selling.
After that lecture, he was expected to practice and empty his mind regularly. Years passed with simple and innocent practice. As he grew older, the lessons became more complicated. While that wasn’t the only thing he was learning, it was one that his mother deemed to be the utmost importance. She even had an associate of hers come to give the boy more practice. The darkly dressed associate with a ring in his nose that made him look like a bull, would delve into the boy’s mind with no mercy. That only motivated the boy to get better. It wouldn’t be long until he had mastered this skill. With that in mind, he continued his practice in closing off his mind to the world.
