SATV'K: I don't want to go, and I'm not hungry.

They don't.
Only The Indigo Child hears us.

She won't do anything.
She never has before.

For her, we live that we may be deemed worthy.
Our abandonment for her rescue.
Our sickness for her cure.

Have I ever told you about your uncle Boot?
He was so strong willed.
Courageous.
Fearless.
And then, when the time came...
SATV'K: Did he fight?
PARSER: He tried.
He even tried to convince our family to fight with him.
But your grandfather knew better.
You know, for all of Boot's courage and fearlessness...
...he forgot the most important lesson.
That this world...
...is a test.
A mountain too treacherous to climb on your own without her guidance.
And though she guides us...
...the path is not without obstacle.
We cannot idolize ourselves, Sati.
We must look to her, when we are feeling lost.
SATV'K: What if she doesn't help?
PARSER: Then we are too early for her return, and...
...we must rejoice in the path she allows us to walk.
Sati...
...you must listen to me.
You can never lose sight of her.
No matter what you face. No matter what they tell you.
She is the only one in this world who can save us.
And if you ever turn your back on her...
...like he did.
SATV'K: What happened to him...
...my uncle?
PARSER: It was too fast...
In a heartbeat, he was taken away...
...and our mother...
...and after that...
...he turned from the child, and we never saw him again.
SATV'K: You should've helped them.
