Enter If You Dare to Keep the Scarecrow

After Cave set the cornfield on fire, I finally saw the price of his protection: the truth he hid about my brother, and the line he crossed when he believed I was already lost.

Now he is gone, not because he chose to leave, but because strangers decided a man in a scarecrow suit needed to be repaired.

Noa still holds the rest of us together with noise, stubbornness, and his whole heart, though even he has started to fall silent, while Cipher keeps his hands on the music box as if stopping would undo him.

I do the only thing left to me and show up every day for the people I love.

Cave once said the Scarecrow protects what he cares about, and I mean to make sure he knows he is worth keeping too.
