• As difficult as it seemed at first, their lives continued. Training resumed, and Sally's instruction with the boys continued. The cloud of her malaise hung over them like a shroud, but everyone tried their best to keep their spirits up and keep a positive attitude. Each evening after dinner the thirteen men merged, doing deep within themselves to discuss Sally's condition and brainstorm ideas on possible cures.
