QUOTE : I’ve had someone I love kidnapped. It’s a nightmare I wouldn’t wish on anyone.” I was struck by Kage’s voice when he said that last part, how it rose slightly, got louder, and I wanted to ask what had happened even as I knew it was not my place to ever even broach the topic. It was clear that remembering the incident still hurt, and for a moment, I wished we were closer so I could offer him some word of comfort.
