Vincent and Michael in “A Fair and Perfect Knight”

Michael, you are a part of us. You always will be, wherever you go. There are times when you must go. When the greatest possibilities, in good faith, cannot be denied. The world Above has so much to offer you; gifts of the imagination, learning. You have the mind and the heart to cherish these gifts. You are on the brink of a wondrous adventure. But every adventure, must begin in farewell.

Some adventures don't end happily.

All you can do is proceed, with the faith that they will.
