I would be genuinely sad to see Rat go (as would Kaz), and am here if you need anything to try and jump-start him. Of course, I also understand that, sometimes, they just go.

ALSO, if you want to get Jesper into trouble to the point where Kaz can step in and save him, then...that might be fun? >> any excuse to have Kaz have to revert to Dirtyhands would be a delight.
