"Stopped who? Who did they stop?"

There's a lot coming out of Emporio and in asking that he may be asking for more of a flood than he bargained for.

They put a lot of faith in him, apparently, to beat someone they couldn't. He's been in the place of the person having to give the faith. "Considerin' how timelines work, somethin' real near to the right ones might be folks you can reach." He still tries, and hell, this isn't his damn shirt. If Emporio needs to cry it's as good a place for child tears as any.
