Alastor and Anthony were best friends as children, but as they grow up and Alastor has to move back to his hometown they lose contact. Alastor tries to forget his dearest friend, tries to move on from how Anthony made him feel, and almost succeeds. Anthony never forgot. Anthony held Alastor close to his chest to warm him on the cold nights, and when he finally gets a chance to run he goes to the one person he knew he could always trust.
