## Description

A brief Homecoming Wings emotional beat. The thematic hook — seeing people while there's still time — carries heavy weight given what has just been established: Caleb was presumed dead, his right arm is no longer human, his rank is politically dangerous, and his Toring Chip requires regular medication. The wiki entry is short; the beat functions as a breathing moment between the reunion's larger revelations.
