[ Considering the man that Stick was, Danny believes it. He doesn't have a lot else to go off of, but kind lives don't lend to the things men like them do in the dark. Violence is not always the way. Violence is not always dissuaded by a gentle heart. Sometimes extreme measures are necessary. A good thing about being made low is that there is only one direction to go from that point.
Danny keeps his pace slow and measured. His breathing he keeps steady as a metronome to guide off. ]

[Forgive his vagueness. It really is a shameful question to ask as a man of any faith. Danny is being so kind to him. He doesn't deserve a ball of existential turmoil and physical pains. Matt shakes his head in dismay once more at himself. He cannot get it together. They toddle into the room. The temperature changes. More stillness, more warmth.]
