Standing before the fire, Jack looked eminently satisfied while a small, fervorous group of boys were sitting before him. Out of the group, one boy seemed to uniquely stand out, Roger. Unlike the others, he was neither passionate nor determined to follow up with his own thoughts, but he did save them once.
