Not until we walked into it.

[Heroic, really. Which, as always, is another word for stupid.]

And I'm sure you do. Though I don't think I've ever seen you in it.

We spent most of our time in a Denny's. When we weren't being attacked by an endlessly self-replenishing army of cryptid creatures, forced to relive and display our most painful memories, or invited to choose parts of ourselves to sacrifice for the lives of strangers.

You might have been disappointed by my level of commitment to "heroism".

It certainly wasn't as dull or meaningless as some of the more acceptable heroes on the Network who didn't even experience the trials would have you believe. But when has their hypocrisy ever been a surprise.

Ronan's dreams may be a little harder to control until I can remind him he is protected. But we have each other.

Remind me, when I see you next, to tell you about the obnoxious brat Peter brought with him when Ronan offered him protection here at the Meadows.

[Kylo looks over the next part of Cassidy's message for a long moment. And in a rare moment, some of the shifts he's undergone since discovering himself not quite as inherently incapable of being loved and loving in return as previously believed become apparent.

He thinks, not just about Cassidy's advice, but the reason he might give it. He thinks about other times Cassidy has offered advice. His other efforts to help, not just during the mess of Ronan's dissolving and becoming everyone's dreams, but as a defining feature of his character. Offering without expectation of return on investment. He types:]

You're welcome to visit us whenever you like. He's fond of you, Cassidy. As I am.
