Also sads, but more uplifting. This follow-up then was to show why this Dismay was "different" than the others. He had someone that reached out and pulled him out of his darkness. A sign of what could be, if the party returns successfully and puts the character back on a proper path.
Also just a chance to show how much "like Nykail" Spring is to be reaching out like this in the first place... and how they're a good influence on people.
