[Noshiko and Kira are meeting in Ken's office. Noshiko hands her daughter a small parcel, which she opens to find a small, black shuriken throwing star]
That shard of obsidian that you brought back, Kira? There's a reason you kept it. And a reason your father took the liberty of making an alteration to it. Do you know what it is?
[nervously] Then, Stiles said that Scott and Kira were stuck in Mexico, which is why they missed the game. Uh, so we went down to Mexico to drive them back from Mexico, and that's why we all missed practice. [Coach glares at him] ...'Cause... we were all in Mexico.
[to Scott and Stiles about Liam] Still, let me be clear to you two. This kid's the best talent I've seen in years. So, he's your responsibility now. You boys are gonna stick together. You're gonna look out for each other. And, you're gonna have each other's backs. You got it?

He's talking about the Wild Hunt-- about the Ghost Riders. In storm clouds just like these, phantom hunters would appear, riding black horses with blood-red eyes, and wolves and hounds at their side, baying and snarling...
It's worse. They did something to me. I don't know how to describe it, other than it felt as if the life was being drawn out of me through them. Through the claws.
How come when we graduate, we're just expected to go our separate ways? If I already found the best people in my life, why aren't I fighting to stay with them, you know?
