“Maybe the events in our lives were set in motion a long time ago. There's an old Buddhist saying that when you meet your soulmate, remember that the act to bring you together was 500 years in the making. So always appreciate and be kind to each other.”

“That's lovely.”

“There's a corollary for friends. When you meet a true friend, you will be bound together through space and time for 500 years. Which means, in the year 2200, I'm gonna get Morgan back for that practical joke he played on me last week.”

“Bring it, Pretty Boy. I'll be waiting for you.”

“I'll be there.”

“I know you hate goodbyes, kid… and change.”

“…”

“Hey. It isn’t always a bad thing.”

“I just can’t imagine this room without you.”

“So don’t. Don’t think about it. Just know, I’m always gonna be by your side. I’m only a phone call away.”

“…”

“I’m sorry I can’t stay.”

“I don’t want you to stay… because I know why you’re leaving and I couldn’t be happier for you.”

“Well listen, we were gonna mail these, but I wanted you to have a birth announcement first.”

“Hank Spencer Morgan.”

“Yeah. Hank is for my pops… but Spencer is for the best little brother anybody could ever ask for.”

…

“I love you, kid.”

“Love you.”

“I still think you look sad. why's that?"

“Because two boys are missing."

“No, it goes deeper than that. I haven't seen it in a while, but it looks very much like... grief? Who'd you lose? Someone in your family? A good friend?"

"..."

“Ahh... What's your friend's name?"

"..."

“Don't you want to know about the missing boys?"

“Derek Morgan. We worked together."

“Derek Morgan. I’m guess you have to suppress your grief around your teammates because they aren't quiet as affected. They didn't lose a protector, did they?"

“What about the boys?"

“You've lost protectors before, haven't you? That's what makes this so hard, history repeating itself."
