The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.

The Lady Io is herself again! Tobin, Lace, Arashi and I helped her confront her nightmares and she is whole once again.

In her joy, Io was hugging everyone, thanking them for being there for her. She hugged me as well...I asked her was she aware that she had just embraced a demon. Her reply was more welcome to my ears than anything I have ever herad, at least that I can remember.

" Strange." she replied to my inquiry. "I thought I was hugging a friend."
