Yeah, it is a bummer. And since it's not in Doc's nature to be that way, it isn't easy for him, either. To say nothing of his kids. But it makes for more character depth, which is always good. Since Hound's always been a loner, it might spur a period of self-reflection for him, and for Doc as well. And in another way, it fits with my canon perfectly, because it marks a turning point in the kids' lives in which they lose part of the innocence of youth, which I had planned on all along with my next, final arc.
