The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe geese gather at the water. Longneck calls the flock to a journey of unforgiving miles, then spots Brightbill and invites the undersized gosling into his formation. He thanks Roz for raising the bird that an accident both orphaned and saved. Brightbill asks if she will still be here when he gets back. She says no. He tries to speak and cannot. After the flock lifts off, Fink needles her empty nest until she asks how you know if you love something.
