[Sparrow stared through the bars of the small room, and looked toward the nearly full moon.
He could not look away. He felt gripped by the moon's deep shine. He'd never felt so calm. He didn't even notice the room's door swing open, as High-Mane entered.
Enthralled, High-Mane watched him for a good few minutes.]
Beautiful, isn't it?
[Sparrow slowly turned to the beast, staring at his devilish smile.]
Yes. It is.
You will learn in time to accept what gift you've been given. And then, and only then, will you truly understand the moon's beauty. .
[Sparrow said nothing, but looked back up at the moon.]
It is beautiful, he thought.
