• “Give ‘em hell, kid.”

    Oh, I plan to.

    You just keep walking towards your own future; I’ll keep this new world steady for you. Did you ever think I would lose so easily? That lie has never left my lips.

    But, you know, no one can live alone, and likewise I can’t protect you with only all of my heart. Don’t worry; strength comes in many forms, even if determination isn’t enough to get us by.

    No one needs to be afraid anymore.

    It’ll all seem better, somehow, even if we can’t save you from this. Even if the Devil takes you, I’ll make sure it’s to someplace made of life. Just keep living—that’s what you have to do.

    You’ll be loved even after the sun goes down, and we’ll make it rise for you, too.
