Ripslinger finally does a decent thing in his life but where does it get him? Ending up in the care of Dusty and Co, of all people, with an unknown and crippling affliction for all his trouble. This is ultimately a story of healing, profound change, forgiveness, and accepting that the way things are, are really how they're supposed to be.

The roles get reversed as Blade experiences a little mishap and Dusty is there to pull him out of it, but that's just the beginning. Uncomfortable silences and awkwardness abound as the two now have to survive each others company until they can safely get back to base, and Blade deigns to turn away from his painful past in favor of taking the time to see what's right in front him.
