The night before leaving the Brown Farm, Schultz went up to the rooftop as usual, but this time he didn't read; instead, he gazed at the starry sky.
He had always believed himself to be smart enough, learning things fast enough, and as long as he wanted, nothing could truly daunt him.

If that's the case, then the promise he made to Sean might not be fulfilled.
As he was gazing at the sky, he suddenly saw a meteor streak across the horizon and fall within the farm's territory.
