Figured my major screw-up was losing Joy, but it was losing that precious secret she cradled in her belly. Now she's back, and I'll guard her and my little dude 'til my last wicked beat.

Despite being much older than Joy, I was damn sure we were meant to ride together. Then, she vanished, leaving me with just a quick note and a shattered heart.

Didn't sit right, but I respected her call. Spent years trying to roll on, but it was like cruisin’ on a flat tire.

Now, six years later, she's back, weavin' apologies and cryin’ a river of sorrow. Says she's dodgin’ a high-and-mighty madman and his watchdogs.

I ain't fully buyin’ her story, but I can't slam the door on her plea. Truth is, Joy's still locked tight in my heart…

So, I saddle up to be the protector she needs.

And when I uncover her most guarded secret, I swear never to let her slip from my grasp again.
