Interesting insight into one event that shaped the Darkling as a person. This short story makes you feel sympathy for a child who had to run and hide all his life, never truly being able to make friends and trust anyone other than his mother and himself. 
The incident in this story planted the seed for him to want to create a Ravka in which Grisha did not have to hide and live in fear.
