Bolt telecommunicated with Brisk. "Hey...uh...I need to do some serious apologizing to you and Leaf. But make sure you're ready to hear me out beforehand..don't wanna make things even worse than they are.
"I'll just wait for you then..." Bolt said, signaling Flitter down and landing. He re-contacted Brisk. "Uh...we actually randomly landed at Sweet Appl-" He was cut off by a familiar lasso around his neck
"We're explaining to Bolt." she said. "Bolt, there's... something that wants to 'help' you. Be really careful." she said.
"W-why are you telling me this after everything I've done to you? I'm extremely grateful...but also confused, both because of the vagueness of the warning and that you're helping me even after I let you down..." Bolt said, his voice low.
"We're your siblings." she said as if it were obvious. "I.. can't say anymore, but I'll keep you posted."
"Wait. Both of you...I just wanted to apologize for everything, from that prank with the watermelons to nearly burning Leaf to a crisp over this thing!" He said, taking out the alicorn amulet and contemplating crushing it. "But most of all...when Leaf was slipping away...I cracked. I boiled over and lost it when I needed to be strong. I'm sorry for letting you both down so immensely there. And I'm sorry for taking offense to you calling me a weak king, Brisk...you were right. And like I said, Leaf...I've failed you as a brother." Bolt said, hanging his head in shame.
