"The gun is not the weapon, Clever."
Clever frowns.
"But …"
"The gun is not the weapon," Mr. Train says again.
He's looking up at the sky. Not at Clever. He doesn't look at Clever that much, really. He always gets a weird look in his eyes when he does.
"Any idiot can hold a gun and shoot. Easy as a pie. Doesn't take more skill than that. And that's not what being an Eraser is."
Clever blinks, and his eyes fall on the gun he's holding.
"You are the weapon, Clever. Like I said, killing with a gun is easy. But you won't always have one. And Chronos doesn't tolerate failure."
