[ He's having a momentary flashback to a conversation he had with Rethe in what seems like ages and ages ago. It's been a pretty busy year. ]

I told Rethe um, before we ended up participating in Brother Death's Hour, that I'd never seen him fight on the field. [ There's a fond smile as he tells you that. ] He told me that maybe we'd get a chance to accompany him one time.

[ His sister gets to do that now, which is great. He'll probably grill Cindy about sometime. ]

I'm looking forward to that.

[ He has no idea how this year in Arcadia will go. But he plans to make it out in one piece. And to make sure that everyone else does too. ]
