"I need to see familiar faces, and to feel that I belong to a family” and she is about to burst into tears."Hey," Max said in a panic and immediately loosened the newly seated belt and pulled her into his lap, holding her tight to his chest.“Have faith, beautiful,” he said, caressing her face. “They are werewolves. And as long they are still alive they are able to recover. Not everything is lost. ”"Even Leia?"

You stink, Sam. Go and take a bath. I will stay with her. ”And I signal Max to take him out."And you Luke!""No!" he said."Don't make me use my luna command on you." I tell him, smiling at him. "I am doing it for Vivi. She is pale and tired and does not want to leave you alone. Take her and sleep at least one hour. ”“Let’s go Sam, and you Luke” Max said. “She is right.
