   Summary

   An alternate - yet equally as painful - ending to chapter six. Arthur helps John escape, life fading with the ghost of a smile, knowing his brother might live the life he never could.

   But just as peace finds him, a familiar voice calls his name from the cliff he lays on, heavy with guilt, thick with the weight of their sins.
