I did get to see him, before I was brought to the tower, and I was so glad that I could, but-- there was no time to talk. I don't know what would have happened if there had been. [Light headshake, followed by a small pause. She tells herself not to hope, because she knows better, but still,] It is true that he's very kind. He always makes so many friends wherever he goes. [So maybe...!]
