~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I mention saving Luka and leaving the others, I see your faces, all of you. You may think the little facial things go unnoticed as we all sit in a circle here on the set - or maybe you know I see...we're all thieves, after all.

There's no choice. Not yet. There's the unimaginable, and then there's the impossible; we can only do one of the two.

You think I want to do this, to just turn tail and back away? Even when I keep telling you - and most of all, keep telling myself - that we'll be back for the others?

Sometimes...sometimes you can't take the whole thing.

Sometimes you get a small win. And you have to deal with it.

I know I will.
