His father and I were trying to find a cure for his illness but the best we could do was stem its inevitable tide. Ultimately, his father and I had a...falling out when I suggested he stop trying to save his son and instead try to enjoy the time he had left with him, and I left. His father joined a heretical cult because of its leader's promises of saving Felix and I did nothing to stop it.

So yes. I do. He was the best of us and I failed him.
