The stick Brina carries during Jane's training sessions has hit Jane's hands and feet countless times. No, not to strike as a warning, but the stick's tip has a dye that immediately marks Jane's skin. Signaling how many mistakes Jane has made.
"Once more, Olive." Brina points to the catwalk's branch in front of her. The branch also forms another angle connected to each other. So, as Jane practices walking there, she occasionally stops right at the intersection. Striking a few standard poses as directed by Brina.
