Chapter 13
”Barnfish? Can you hear me?”
…
”Barnfish? I… I don’t know if you can hear me or not, but Boulderdash said you could, and I can’t bear to think of you not knowing anything. I. I just want you to know that I love you. That I’ll never leave you.”
…
”Barnfish? You’re looking so thin and. I don’t know how much longer you’ll be here and I- I- I- N-Need you. I n-n-need y-you back, p-please c-come back, I c-can’t face th-this any-anymore, please.”
…
”Hey, Barnfish. Mom said she had to leave, but I didn’t want you to be a- your tail’s moving! Barnfish? Barnfish??! … … … No. I must have imagined it.”
…
”Barnfish? I don’t know how much longer I can take this. It… It hurts so much to see you like this, to see you always getting thinner, but… I’m not going to leave you. I just want Starclan to send you back to me! Why? Why did they have to take you like this? Why can’t you just be back here with us! Why can’t you be back here, where you belong?!”

”Minnowstorm’s doing well. He keeps doing this doe-y smile when he comes back from patrols, and it’s obvious he’s got a crush, but he won’t tell me anything about them. I just want to provide support, to know who our grand-kits’ mother will be, but I suppose he considers that too prying. Kits, right?”
…
”Do you remember when..? … Do you remember when…? …and you were just sitting there while they …. Haha! Do you remember when..?”
…
”I know you can’t talk back, dad, but I thought I’d ask your blessing anyway… …Your leg twitched!”
…
”I’m sorry Aspenfoot. I’m so sorry, but you’ve been here all the time, you know how hard I’ve tried, and I can’t think of any way to break this easily. It… won’t be long now.”
