Emer ConroyGuestMatt RobertsGuestHe is praying in the chapel.

So he's really wrestling with a bunch of internal thoughts like he's just, yeah, he's feeling bad about how everything's going and, of course, with the battle coming like I'm sure that, you know, feelings are heightened right now and especially because he can't fight in it.

It's like, wow.
He slowly kneels before the candle and then also asks forgiveness for what he will still do and blows it out.

Yeah, definitely.
