You've always been a believer in the virtue of heroes. And why shouldn't you? You're the proud brother of one who embodies that, through and through.

Teddy Ursa was more of a pleasant memory than a consistent beacon of light for you, and yet his glow shone on you all the same. Gone at a young age, and yet oft times you'd find yourself at the window, a merry daydream dancing across your vision. He wasn't so much a shape or a person as warmth personified; and you knew that that could only be a hero.

For years, you dreamed. And then, like in many good stories, the hero swooped in at the last moment and saved the day.

Lacking a leg and at the mercy of a fearsome Career, your hero nevertheless emerged the victor. Teddy Ursa was the savior of the story, and of your heart.

It hasn't been easy, attaching the face to the warmth you remember crystal clear. It doesn't help when the face is so sad, even if you can't quite figure out why.

But you're sure you'll manage. Heroes always turn out okay in the end.

Who knows, little one? Maybe you'll end up being the hero of your own story one day.
