Skybound Soul has already chosen which balloon she wants and is patiently waiting for the adults to stop discussing logistics. She packed the boots, found the highest rock, and came prepared to leave common sense at ground level. The sky appears to have better plans anyway.

There comes a moment when wondering what’s out there becomes stronger than every reason to stay put. She stands between comfort and possibility, discovering that courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it simply looks up and decides, I could go there.
