"Embrace the pain Celes" Kamina told the Eevee "pain lets you know that you're alive. It's your body growing stronger to protect itself better, and weakness leaving your soul. How so you think I got so powerful? Why daily beatings of course, each one more agonizing then the last. Why, I've gotten hurt so much, that my soul can take the pain better then my body can deal with the damage. However, I never let those horrible beatings get me down; for I knew that they were just a long string of trials that I had to overcome to reach my dream, and I was right! After surviving my last beating, I gained the power to weaponize the fire in my soul." He then adjusted his position to face Spruce "I have no doubt that our friend Spruce here is going through such pain. Do not hate it my brother in arms, but embrace it! For you shall emerge from this stronger then before in both body and spirit. Take it from me; someone who's body was tempered with pain"
