“Little boy with faith so thin,
Little girl so strong within,
I said I’d never leave you, and I’m sorry, but I lied.

The broken doors are waiting, down the path you’ve always known.
My darling ones, be careful now, and don’t go out alone.”

“The first recorded Kel formation was a suicide formation. She had learned that at academy sometime and forgotten it. Now she would never forget.”
