April Gough 🦄, “someone had to stay with him” gives this scene its emotional center. You let loyalty appear in a quieter form than sacrifice: presence across centuries, companionship inside burden, and the kind of remembering that can call a smile back to someone who has almost forgotten how. The humor between the ancient characters also matters because it lets hope enter the scene through recognition rather than spectacle. Grateful for this glimpse of the Lantern Path and for the reminder that staying can be its own kind of light.
