It might be a possibility for Fayt in the future, once the world stabilized and he was able to see his mother again without need to worry, but Cliff had a hunch that the day would be far away.] These kids just need a push in the right direction is all. Some need a bigger boost, but so what? I'm just being an old guy whose making sure some people don't die.

That's a skill a lot of these fight happy guys back in town forget.
