He turns his thoughts to all the good times their class had had. All the connections he's formed here. The falling rain changes as he reshapes the shadows, the ice, even the rain making it a wash of stars and the deep night instead.]
I won't claim I didn't have a part in what followed. We all did. ...you're right. It's like I lost her for the first time. And I fell for the first time.
...
[He looks to the water, and glances back at the cave Red had faced the legendary bird within.]
I didn't fall this time because I refused to allow it. I think it partly has to do with how much better of a person I am these days. ...and because I'm not alone this time.
