Bill seems oblivious to Jen's feelings, or is perhaps choosing not to acknowledge her hesitancy. Arnold stops at the first row of benches, and motions for Jen to do the same. Bill steps forward and says with dead seriousness, "Jennifer Gibbs, you have been invited today to be considered for induction into our Brotherhood, and to join us in our midnight vigil against the darkness. I cannot tell you what trials you may face tonight; I cannot even promise you will survive. We ask you to consider your choices very seriously, for this is not a commitment that can be backed out of. Once seen, certain horrors can never be unseen. So if you have any doubt now, or any questions, ask now, for soon there will be no turning back."

The others watch on from behind Bill with the same unflinching solemnity.
