He had only been this deep inside the Lion's Den once, during those long days between Judah's death and dad's final breath. Sorrow mixed with hope. That dad would wake up.

You're the light that guides me

That dad would smile again.

Even when I can't see

That dad would put a paw around him and draw him in and tell him in some silly way that everything was going to be okay.

Mom had brought them here, too, when they were younger and Judah was surely alive and Dinah still believed. Out of them all, only Malakai remained constant, with faith unwavering. Malakai. Had he ever doubted? Ever needed anything more? He and Judah had seemed tethered like a steady ship, even when the waves crashed against them. He and Dee were like broken rudders, tossed about, and now, Dinah had turned her face away from God and wanted nothing more to do with Him.

What had stopped him from doing the same? Because at the end of the day, it was Dee whom he had always seen himself reflected in the most.

'Cause sometimes I don't believe,

That I am not alone in the valley of death.
