The Sunnydale Herald

Later, in the small hours of the night, Connor (Stephen) would realize that Holtz would not have pleaded. Holtz would have died as a warrior, old and broken though he may be. And in the quiet places of neglect in his soul, he would realize that Holtz was not a warrior. Holtz was a cunning man of wrath, and nothing more. And familiar shame and neglect would steal back into the boy’s heart and tighten its grip once more.
