Final Words

	Ben	“	I'm not emotional about leaving the game, I'm emotional about leaving Shay. I couldn't have done this without her, like without seeing her face every day. The emotion coming from just leaving her there and not knowing how she's going, I would love to see her soon, but I want to see her at the end. It sucks that I can't watch her.	”
