♫ We’ve walked the long road and you’ve worn it well
You stitched yourself up when you fell
Keep your memories in jars
Carry secrets in scars beneath your shell ♫

The road we have walked, mi amigos, has not been an easy one.

The road of suffering, built upon the pain and agony of those brave enough to tread it. We have walked that road for a decade, and have the scars to prove it.

It has weathered us. It has taken its toll.

But we journey on.

♫ You found faith but you, chose to doubt it
You found love but you left without it
And now you don’t want to talk about it ♫

I have walked the road alongside you, Grimskull.

Yours is a journey of faith, born out of Deathrow itself. A faith built on pain and suffering. But physical pain is only half of your journey.

You have lost friends, felt the sting of betrayal. First at the hands of Vincent, and by my own choices… yet you’ve embraced it all.

Onwards, you faithfully walk the road.

♫ You built friendships but they sailed without you
You never meant it and that’s why they doubt you
They don’t ever talk about you ♫

Felix Foley, your journey is that of friendship and family, and the suffering inflicted by those two words.

This road began with the flashing of a red light. A man harbouring a dark past, a secret within.

Yet despite all, there is a resolve in your song that demands to still be heard.

That no matter the friendships that left you doomed, nor the father that doesn’t deserve that title… You journey on for a brighter tomorrow for those niños that walk in your shadow.

♫ You’re older than you used to be
The mirror weaves a tapestry
Of lines that dance and shimmer ’round your eyes ♫

No soul’s journey has been as winding as yours, Jackson Cade.

Every step has weathered you, every corner led to agony. The name Jasper Redgrave forever etched into your memory.

Yet, even the death of your brother wasn’t enough for you to yield. You walk on, no matter the cost.

Because in your journey, Arcadia is a safer place.

♫ But the penny never dropped
And no man has ever stopped time flying by ♫

Mi amigos, no matter how far we’ve walked and toiled, the road winds on.

Long ago, we began to walk this road, but the penny never truly dropped. That as much as we choose to walk, it is not a choice at all.

This is a forced march. We trudge on, knowing that the road calls us to keep marching.

The destination is the same for all.

Black, silencio.

That deafening silence when your song reaches its end.

No man has ever stopped the time flying by.

Felix cannot make up for a terrible father, or the loss of Jackson’s brother, or the pain that began Grimskull’s faith … All you can do is continue to walk the road.

And hope, like me, not to become yet another victim on this long and winding journey.
