And let them fly to the other world.
One is an owl, one is a falcon, one is a crow.
Each one is different from the others
But they are all the same in silence." (Rumi)

@DrunkDuck A2: Lacey is in many ways a third protagonist. In Last Space Wizard Agent Bill, also sometimes fills this role as well. The moments they become major depend entirely on the situation. For my stories they're their to give a relatable outlook on outlandish events. #quackchat
