Logan's constantly surprised at the fact that no matter how old he gets or how many people pass in and out of his life, he still can't turn aside from a kid that's hurting. It's what drove him to look out for Idie and the Lights, to open the school even though he had no business being in charge. No matter how beat up and sour he gets, he can still be stopped in his tracks by it.

Maybe, he thinks, it's because pain took his chance to be a kid (and to care for his own kids) away from him, or maybe he really is just getting soft in his old age.

Either way, it's hard to see hear her speak about how people don't come for each other in her world and not be able to put a hand on her shoulders. Instead, he feels the truth rise up in his throat.

"Maybe. All I know is, I'm here for you, kid. And I ain't goin' anywhere. At least not without one hell of a fight."
