Broken Boulder youngblood

she does not know what to tell him or how to comfort him.  she is terrified that she will fail, but it will be in this.  of course she cannot express this, so instead she settles comfortably in the silence that lapses between them and weighs her options.

you do not have to do this by yourself.  we stand behind you.  everyone here stands behind you.  do not for one moment think you are alone.

she turns now to look him in the eyes, near tears herself. you have it in you, baby boy.  you always have.  i'm sorry that he's not here anymore.  i wish i could fix that for you.  but you have korei.  and you have me.  and everyone else.

i don't think you could fail.
