Another instruction — this time the accusation that follows the consequence, the moment where Basim's impulsiveness produces the wrong result at the wrong time. Acting without thinking is the young assassin's original sin: the gift of capability without the discipline of restraint, the ability to do things before understanding why they should be done.

Nearly two hours of Basim's education in what the Order is and what dismantling it requires. The acting-without-thinking is the session's texture — the choices made in the field that depart from the plan, the results that require recovery. The Brotherhood is teaching him something he does not yet know he needs.
