(SASHA)
When we get into the study, we find Father behind his desk busy as usual. He seems to grow weaker with each passing day, I dread the day when he won't be here anymore. Father has been my guiding force and I have leaned on him all my life. I hope I will be ready to lead the men when that time finally comes.
Father is frail, but even then, he gets up to greet us. He shakes Tyler's hand. "Come, let's sit near the fire. It's more comfortable." He says while moving slowly to the chair closest to the fireplace. It isn't as cold; however, Father seems to be always shivering, and he doesn't want Tyler to see him trembling. The last thing Father will do is show his weakness, even on his deathbed.
