[Amal looks sympathetic. At least Varian's friend didn't have the coldness of oblivion waiting for her. He can't say the same for Zelos. Not being in control is scary, but he's learned to deal with it... a little, anyway.

"Put it off until you have to deal with it" is a valid strategy here.

That's right. And it's what I'm going to do, too, so you're not alone.

If you ever feel like your steps are faltering, I'll pick you up and make sure you stay on the path. I know it isn't always easy to see.
