The day we’ve all been waiting for (and some of us were dreading) has finally arrived. The Asylum was overflowing as the Natural Mans gathered to witness the official reclamation of Brother Ralph.
Under the guidance of the esteemed Elder, Mjolner, the ceremony began with the pouring of the "Water of Life." As Ralph dissolved back into the raw earth from which he came, the Natural Mans shared their favorite memories of the gentlest soul on the workbench.
No matter how much the Natural Mans liked to "get their point across" (Luigi’s polite way of saying "argue"), Ralph was always there with a calm, "Just be nice and practice loving kindness." It’s a legacy that will stick with the Brotherhood longer than a fresh glaze.
While Ralph is mud for now, who knows what the future holds? Maybe Dr. Poe will find a spark in that pile and Ralph will be born again as a new sculpture. As the final shout echoed through the shop: Freedom! Freedom to become a sculpture of some kind!
