Everyone wants to see heaven
But no one wants to say goodbye

So much had happened in her absence, not just to Stormbreak, but to her friends. And the girl was unaware of any of it, having been gone for so long, and without explanations, she had no way of discovering the plot against Dahlia, or the Caretaker's dance with Zavien, or any other revelations that might have been offered. Instead, she took Lena at her word when the woman said she was well, relaxing some of the tension she hadn't known she'd been holding. It was a relief to find that a fellow Stormbreak citizen was doing well despite the Family's takeover and all of the uncertainty that Soh assumed had followed.

And, it seemed, Lena was a part of a group working against the Family - or at least that's what Soh assumed the woman meant by her cryptic message. She couldn't help but wonder who 'we' included. And if she were to offer assistance, would she be welcomed back, or resented for being absent for so long? One person in particular, she felt, would be less than pleased to see her involved in whatever plots and plans were in motion. Still, as the former Heart and a fiercely loyal Breaker, she couldn't help the offer all the same: "Is there anything I could help with?"

Everyone wants to see heaven
