"I'm sorry. I'll get Jeffers to send you back. My colleagues were met with demise. | have to be there." | stayed silent as | watched him leave.
"You chose to quietly make sacrifices because you don't want to see your loved ones cry. If giving up on our lives will ensure their peace, it would seem worth it, wouldn't it?" | muttered, standing in place even after Eason left.

He couldn't take his eyes off Eason even after he left. He was probably heartbroken to see Eason suffer.
"Carol is your sister. The Rebels are completely out of my hands with her in control now. Let's work together before she tries to kill me in her madness," | said, looking at Joel.
