“Matty called on us to come with him that night. He said it, he invoked our bond, the Covenant, in calling us to that staircase. And we didn’t go. We fucked around while our friend went up those steps and disappeared. And in the years after? Did we look for him? Did we stay together, work together, find him together? As friends? As family? No. We didn’t. We didn’t do shit except fall apart and fuck off. But now here’s our chance. I found this staircase. And I got us all together, here, today.”
