Prison break! There are times everyone must fight to survive, likely or no! Better than starving forgotten in the pit if Pad falls alone.

Love that perspective! I thought about the same argument back when we were making the decision for Young Brogan -- that confronting his fears and the hurt that was done to him is better than hiding at Madame Parvati's while Padrig and the others go into danger. I think it makes even more sense here!

Agreed. Leaving them at the bottom of the pit is no kindness.

Indeed! Better to die on your feet than starve on your knees in the dark.

> Pad cracks a smile, even in this dark place. He thinks of all the times Vahid had persuaded him, against his better judgment, to do what was right. Or at least, to do what Vahid suggested. “Yes. He is.”

I forgot that I was still on the fence about Vahid way back when I was a proper fan and regular. Looking back on him with fresh eyes I'm much fonder. Also, ✊🏿
