I didn't think I could, either. I was pretty angry at her, even after all this time. But, yeah. We worked it out. I get it now. Why she left, what was going on, all of it. It makes sense now.

When we made it off the whale, we found a colony of lost Alteans that we knew we had to tell the rest of Team Voltron about. So we went back to the Castle of Lions. When we delivered the news, something happened to Shiro. He like... snapped... or something... and he took Lotor and ran away. [There was a whole backstory for Lotor, too, but he'd get to that later.] We went after him, but we needed Voltron to do it. Without Shiro, they needed someone in the Black Lion, so I did it. I've piloted the Black Lion before, so I knew it would let me again.
