It's uplifting that they both survived and that Brady managed to go to nationals only 4 months after getting mauled. It's uplifting that they had only known each other for a few months and Kendell still risked his life for Brady. It's uplifting that Gus and Orrin also put themselves in harm's way to go back and save Kendell, despite being instructed not to by 911. I found the article very uplifting.
