Summary[]
It is Dillon York's first day at KND Arctic Training, and his parents see him off. Dillon doubts himself at first until his father gives him enough encouragement. But after he leaves, however, Nolan begins to have nightmares and worries about his son succumbing to an evil power like he once did. Nolan's wife, Danika tries to soothe his worried mind, but Nolan still can't help but think about it. However, when Nolan has a nightmare about Dillon turning to the Dark Side, he bans Dillon from going back when he returns. Dillon becomes angry, and Nolan starts to feel guilty. He goes to The Q to get advice from Crystal Wickens, and she suggests that Nolan try to reason with his son. Nolan returns and tells his son why he banned him, and Dillon explains why he would never turn to the Dark Side, and that he always looked up to his dad. They make up and Nolan agrees that he can go back.
Differences Between Old Version and New Version[]
- Yuki Crystal mentions that Miyuki and Suki Crystal both started Arctic Training yesterday. Since Suki Crystal isn't an operative in current time, nor would she be of age at First Day's time, only Miyuki is mentioned to have gone to training, along with her friends.
- Also, Yuki mentioned that Miyuki and Suki (only Miyuki in this case) were excited. Considering Miyuki's gloomy personality, he now mentions that she wasn't too excited.
- In Zach and Maddy's first appearance, Maddy doesn't reveal hers and Zach's middle names, only their first and last. Also, Dillon remembers them as "Mr. and Mrs. Murphy's kids", not "Numbuh 58 and 59's kids", as that would imply Dillon knew Doug and Gwen Murphy as operatives.
- In the 3rd chapter, during the scene at the Murphy house, Gwen internally recalls why Zach and Maddy hate metahumans, foreshadowing the events in "Drowning".
