I'm currently rereading sxf and I'm at Martha and Henry's backstory.
Something something Henry decided to become a teacher after seeing the corruption in eden, taking up a chalk and books to fight it and the war, only to be undermined and almost fired because of that same type corruption many years later. And then, his own students fight that corruption like he did but they fight it more head on, having it eradicated from the school while saving him too. That, and reminding him why he began teaching, his ideals when speaking to mini Donovan.
Remembering this, his smile in 127.2 means so so much more. The textbubbles being clear just makes his genuine gratitude hit harder to me.
