A piece of Nathan's hun has become much unstrung from the rest of himself, akin to dying, tethered only with a haunt to persecute him for past misdeeds and to compel him to pursue his ambition regardless of the toll.

(I Ching Coin Casting:
After casting the three coins "imbued" with his question multiple times and constructing a hexagram bottom upwards based off of the results, noting which hexagram it is, Nathan takes the changing line into consideration, the existence of which denoting whether or not all the factors in the question have come into play yet, and creating another hexagram if so, following the process.

After finishing, the result can be consulted from the I Ching, which details explanations for hexagrams depending on all the factors above. The difficult part is interpreting and figuring out what's underneath the explanations, which is riddled with symbolism and metaphors, and formatting that into something intelligible, which is primarily done in the head, perhaps with some aid from pre-existing information.)
