Oh, jeez, just seeing that little boy’s name made me cry again.
I am wondering if Q is emphasizing this death because the cure for this child’s type of cancer is among the cancer cures that have been deliberately hidden.
Hadn't thought of it that way. You could be right.
Imagine the cures that have been hidden and the many, many family members/friends/etc. who passed because of that. Could that be another reason “why they won’t be able to walk down the street”?
