It sure does. Makes ya wonder why it had ta be them.
[Why did I get to live when Casey and everyone else didn't?
...There are still some aspects surrounding Casey's death that are simply too uncomfortable for Raven to talk about, but talking about her in life is something he can do.]
It's all right, Dorothy. I don't mind talkin' about her. Consider it a trade of stories.
I didn't have much goin' fer me back when I joined the military, but Casey saw somethin' in me that I didn't. She thought I had the potential ta be a true knight, just like she was tryin' ta become. Kind, righteous...someone who goes outta their way ta defend the people. Honestly, she already was that, and so much more. All us guys in the platoon admired her.
[Maybe even more than admired, in his case.]
She made me her personal aide and helped me turn my life around. Gave me a cause ta fight for- somethin' ta believe in. I became a better person because of her.
