He looked much better than the last time he saw him, although he still had a long way to go. Johnny knew Miguel would bounce back. He was tough. But seeing him like this almost moved him to tears again.
Miguel greeted him with that cheesy grin of his. "Sensei."
He had so much to say, things he hadn't been able to since Carmen kept them apart. Yet all he could manage was, "I'm sorry." Sorry for him getting hurt, sorry of the role he'd played in that, sorry for not being here for him since then.
"It's okay, Sensei."
