Kit wasn't certain his heart was strong, but what it lacked in fortitude his will more than made up for. He could do what was necessary. He would do what was necessary.
If he had to shut down his heart or rip it out to accomplish that...so be it.
He couldn't allow himself to think too deeply about what he would be giving up, in that case. Thoughts of family and friends and what remained in this life that he cared even a fraction for needed to begin and end with preparations for saying goodbye and, in some instances, even cutting certain ties. He couldn't let himself think about how sad it was. For him, it wasn't sad at all, it was simply something that needed to be done. Compartmentalizing that way permitted him to focus on what was most important and shut out all the rest.
It would allow him to keep his promise. When he was finally ready to fully Awaken, however difficult the transition, he would not allow his to be a burden to anyone else.
"I owe you my thanks," Kit said. "You've been of great help to me so far. I only hope I can return the favor some day."
