Para empeorar las cosas, el mentor de Grant, Willow, tiene tantos comentarios sarcásticos como tatuajes, y un molesto hábito de retener información pertinente. Grant, no queriendo hacer otra cosa más que estar con Tate, se niega a creer que éste es su destino. Así que cuando se corre la voz sobre lo rápidamente que está triunfando, Grant le atribuye el mérito al implacable entrenamiento de Willow. Ella intenta matarle, después de todo... o lo que quiera que sea el equivalente a la muerte después de la muerte. Grant no puede negar que, físicamente, parece estar avanzando mucho más rápido que sus compañeros, pero los secretos que mantiene demuestran lo contrario. Un secreto en particular, el más peligroso, debe permanecer escondido a toda costa; si alguien descubre que ha encontrado un modo de volver a Tate, sus oportunidades de protegerla se verán destruidas.
