Episode 23: He DIED Defending Them.

Heroism is still heroism even if no one is left to acknowledge or remember it. If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? We know in our hearts that the answer is yes.“You know the problem with heroes and saints, Nikolai?” I asked as I closed the book’s cover and headed for the door. “They always end up dead.”― Leigh Bardugo, Siege and Storm

Prey animals predictably choose flight over fight, while predators often choose the latter. But even the peaceful rabbit will respond with a purposely vicious attack when threatened with death. Beware the cor...
