Otto listens quietly as the lecture grows more solemn. “Seems like every young idealist with superpowers thinks they can solve the Middle East, or Africa, or whatever, and then whoever’s turf they breach takes it out on the local American military base, on soldiers who were just minding their own business. Then we have to respond. Violence begets violence.” “We can’t just leave these people to die!” Otto practically shouts into the radio. “Someone is always going to die for the sins of the ancestors, or the colonizers, or the offenders, Mr. Newman,” Arbogast says sadly. Otto looks up, at the brilliant light of the sun in the sky. He looks around, at the hopeful, fearful faces looking out the windows. He sees parents holding children. He sees young people tending to old people. He takes a breath, and steels his soul. “Maybe. But nobody dies today.” The call clicks off.

“I don’t know,” the girl says again, and approaches him. Carefully, she extracts the knife from his side. Roland grits his teeth for the pain he’s been dreading, and it comes. But it’s followed immediately by waves of a soothing sensation, as the green glow reappears and the warmth of her hand rests on his skin. He smells roses after the rain, and tastes the copper of blood mingling with the juicy sweetness of grapes fresh off the vine, and feels a comforting heat spread from the site of the injury. It’s like… like resting beside a campfire, wrapped in blankets, watching the stars. If healing feels this good, it almost makes me want to get hurt again, thinks Roland, and realizes in shock what he’s thinking.
