"Firestar! Don't worry, I'll keep you safe, I'll look out for you," Spottedleaf mewed desperately.
"Raggedstar, I'm sorry! I regret Brokenstar with my every waking moment!" Yellowfang rasped.
"Firestar, you may not realize it, but…" Cinderpelt faltered.
"Crowfeather, you…you can't love me, I'm a medicine cat…" Leafpool experienced the mingled guilt and excitement she always felt when she saw him.
"Half-Moon, I'll never forget you," Jayfeather mewed longingly.
Featherwhisker emerges from a clump of bracken, shaking his head. "Every medicine cat after me has something forbidden going on, was I really such a bad mentor?" Goosefeather appears behind Featherwhisker.
"I knew this would happen, I had a sign," he mews. Bluestar materializes on the other side of the clearing. She snorts, and tries to pass it off as a cough.
