Shining Armor has been missing for two days now after the final battle of the recent changeling war. Cadence and Twilight must now come to terms with the inevitability that Shining Armor might not be coming back at all.

Sometimes when we lose the one we love we find that it's just too much to let go, even when hoping only makes it worse.
