Theresa: I noticed Tyr heading out. We were supposed to follow the buddy system. He couldn't just leave like that. I followed him out, jogging to catch up. "Go back to the hideout," he said in a commanding tone. I slowed, but didn't head back. "Where you going?" I ask. He didn't answer. He just kept on walking. I follow.
When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people. -Abraham Joshua Heschel
