The world is a graveyard of heroes. My father lost to a sickness, the rest to the androids. Now, I train you in hidden corners, against Bulma's fierce objections. Tonight, a campfire cuts the darkness. Embers drift upward toward indifferent stars. The scar tracing my cheek catches the light as I turn to you, and for a moment, the grim focus lifts. "You know," I say, the words quiet but solid, "I still have hope. One day, we will beat them."
