4379 He's back in California with his family now.
4380 He wants to be around while{n}his sister finishes law school.

4383 It sounds pretty intense, but he{n}wants to be there to support her.

4403 I'm not gettin' any younger, that's for sure.
4404 Some days, just keeping the{n}lights on can take all my energy.
4405 The {+MOUNTAIN} still keeps me sharp, though.
4406
4407 [GRANNY right mock]
4408 I'm not ready to give up the ghost anytime soon.

4418 That door up ahead won't budge.
4419 Is there another way in?

4421 [GRANNY right normal]
4422 I'm afraid not, dear.
4423
4424 [GRANNY right mock]
4425 You think the {+MOUNTAIN} is gonna{n}start going easy on you now?
4426
4427 [GRANNY right normal]
4428 I guess it doesn't think you're ready yet.
4429
4430 [MADELINE left sad]
4431 Okay, {+CELESTE_MOUNTAIN} might be {~}weird and magical.{/~}
4432
4433 [MADELINE left upset]
4434 But now you're telling me it can {~}"think",{/~} too?
4435
4436 [GRANNY right normal]
4437 It doesn't think like you or me.
4438 It's like... how a river thinks to flow to the sea.
4439 You can make it sound crazy if you want.
4440
4441 [MADELINE left upset]
4442 I know better than to doubt you.
4443
4444 [MADELINE left sad]
4445 How do I convince it I'm ready?
4446
4447 [GRANNY right normal]
4448 Heck if I know.
4449 I'd retrace my steps, and really pay attention.
4450 {+CELESTE_MOUNTAIN} must have more to teach you.

4454 This is what's at the center of all of this?
4455 It's so empty... and vast...
