It would be painstaking work to repair it without leaving any visible evidence of the damage. "See how the beads catch the light?" I showed Aria, turning the fabric slightly. "Each one has to be perfectly placed or the whole effect is ruined." As I threaded my needle, I felt the familiar calm that always came with detailed handwork. There was something meditative about the process—the tiny, precise movements required my complete focus, leaving no room for the darker thoughts that often plagued me. "Can I touch the beads now?" Aria asked, her voice hushed with reverence.

Passing nurses and patients saw the scene and grew curious, with some gathering to see what was happening. Inside the ward, Amelia said nothing more and slowly closed her eyes. With a light flick of her fingers, the Needles Kit she carried with her unfolded once again. This time, she did not take the usual row of sliver needles. Her fingers paused slightly before she retrieved three sliver needles from the deepest part of the kit, each several times finer than before and faintly glowing. The needle bodies were as fine as hair yet as tough as black iron. The tips were rounded but sharp, and a faint glow lingered around them. These sliver needles were rarely used, but in a situation like this,

He was fearful that he wouldn't be able to receive treatment if they weren't able to locate silver needles. While silver needles were difficult to find, sewing needles were not. Not long after, the subordinate came back with his finding of hundreds of sewing needles. There were all kinds of sewing needles. Some of the needles were long, some were short. Some were for sewing blankets, and others for embroidery. They had varying thicknesses too. Larissa selected around 20 needles from the mix. Then, she got one of the men to look for rubbing alcohol. Needless to say, there was none. The subordinate was quick-witted this time.

Brooke felt profound recognition as he observed the procedure. She remembered Gunnar using these same needles to save her. These needles were not made from standard silver but from the leaves of a plant called Glacial Silver Cypress. Hence, they were also known as Glacial Silver Needles. Glacial Silver Cypress grew in places where it snowed all year. Moreover, it only produced needles once a decade. The needles needed for acupuncture required leaves from a hundred-year-old Glacial Silver Cypress, which were exceptionally rare.

Shadows gather in corners where time can get curious. I stitch those seams the way my mother taught me to stitch torn hems. Quietly. Efficiently. With the understanding that repair is not a grand gesture. It’s repetition. I run the thread through my needle and tie a knot. Three times. I walk to the window. The sill is cold under my palm. I take the needle and push it gently into the wood, not enough to split it, just enough to leave a small puncture. Then another. Then another. A triangle.

Nicole ignored their whispers as her fingers grabbed onto the row of cold silver needles, her expression entirely focused. Everyone could not help but train their eyes on her finger movements. Her fair white hand was slowly moving along a black leather. Under the silver glint, it had an alluring beauty to it. The hand slowly stopped at the front of a one-millimeter-thick needle. With a slight force from her index and middle fingers, she pulled that needle out between her fingertips. The glint reflected on Nicole's face as she carefully held the needle between her fingers and, with a flick of her hand, gently pierced onto the center of Jimmy's brow.

In the end, because she had never heard of acupuncture before, naturally, she did not know what the so-called sterling needle looked like. Darryl chuckled. "Of course, it's different…" Then, he described the sterling needle in detail. Woo! At that moment, Robin pondered for a while before saying, "This sterling needle is indeed special, but it is quite similar to a concealed weapon that we use." Then, Robin took a bag of needles out of her clothes. This was the concealed weapon called Soul Chasing Needle that she used often. It was about six centimeters long, as thin as a strand of hair. It would catch someone off guard when used.

I explained as I handed him a needle and a piece of thread. “Do I try to put the string through the hole on this metal pointy stick?” Conor asked me as I got my own needle and thread. “It’s called a needle, honey, and yes, you want to get the thread through the eye of the needle… Like this.” I explained as I showed him how to thread the needle.
