Question: This is a question for both of you [Cloudtail and Brightheart] to answer. Were you happy when Bluestar died, since she gave you/Brightheart a cruel name?

[First Panel, Cloudtail and Brightheart look alarmed]

Cloudtail: I-

Brightheart: WHAT? Of course not!

[Second Panel, Cloudtail looks somewhat relieved and has a nervous grin, Brightheart looks somber.]

Cloudtail: Geez Firestar, what kind of cats do you take us for?

Brightheart: Bluestar gave her life for ThunderClan.

Brightheart: ...I will admit...

[Third Panel, close up on Brightheart as she looks even more serious.]

Brightheart: It hurt me a lot to be give that name. To be remembered for my mistakes- never for my talents. It robbed me of my worth.

Brightheart: However, I think any cat brave enough to face...

[Fourth Panel, young Brightpaw, surrounded but doglike shadows and bloody.]

Brightheart: T..those dogs...

[Fifth panel, a black background with a single splash of red; fades into white.]

Brightheart: Deserves full Respect.

Brightheart: So I forgive her.

[Sixth Panel, Cloudtail looks concerned, Brightheart looks away, showing the scarred half of her face.]

Brightheart: Bluestar was a noble leader. ... Every cat was sad to see her go. Any cat who thinks otherwise is a fool.

Cloudtail: ...

So long answer short: No! I completely agree with everything Brightheart said! Absolutely do not disagree in any way at all! Nope! Definitely not! Never ever. Only a fool would do that, am I right? Heheh...
