Moe acknowledges that the Angio battle was a nasty one and that it was touch and go (this is the first reference he has made to an actual battle). He writes how odd it is that some people can somehow keep crossing paths. He also mentions that he did not intend for the flowers and verse he sent Sylvia to upset her.
