It's easier to be weak at night, Jet knows. If you cry during the day you get called a baby (or a girl, or gay), and then you get a manly punch in the shoulder before someone drags you off somewhere to do something fun.

At night, it's different. Smellerby and The Duke are sprawled over Pipsqueak like puppies, Longshot holds his bow like a potentially deadly teddybear, and there's always some sniffling kid who whispers that he misses his parents or he's scared of the dark. Jet promises not to tell. He's good with secrets.

Jet's parents are alive.
