The Young Hero had not visited his grandfather at the retirement home since Christmas 2031—nearly six months ago. He figured it was overdue. But he did so not out of a sense of joy, but rather of obligation. After all, the conversations always seemed to go exactly the same way every time. Still, someone should visit the old man, and it simply wouldn’t be right or proper to expect someone else to attend to it. Nope. It had to be him.
