"You don't need to apologize to me," Jet says, rubbing Ghoul's back. "It isn't my decision. Whatever you want to do, whatever you feel is right - Ghoul, I trust you'll make the decision that is best for you. And it will work out." And even more softly: "Sometimes the biggest risks are the emotional ones, Scout. It will be okay."

For the record? It was worth it.
