In the passage from "Comanche Moon" by Catherine Anderson, a character reassures another that saying goodbye isn't permanent. They speak of a belief in a cosmic connection, suggesting that they will reunite in the future. This reflects a sense of hope and comfort despite the impending separation.

However, the other character expresses sorrow and frustration related to their situation, mentioning that a specific song has brought them pain. The comforting character then encourages them to rest and find peace in their presence for this final moment, highlighting the warmth of their bond and the bittersweet nature of their farewell.
