"Blondie are you okay?" Eugene asks me.

"Fine. Just worried about Hector." I say.

I move my hand around the grass. Cass left to do her own thing. I knew she would. It's time she does her own thing. Her destiny is somewhere outside the walls of Corona. I've always known she would have a great destiny.

"Blondie how can you be worried about Hector? He's fine." Eugene takes another bite of his sandwich. 

"I don't think he is." I turn to him.

He's acting tired and more tense than usual. 

"Blondie, look, Hector is a mystery. We don't know anything about him." Eugene says.

"We know his friend." I say.

"Look Blondie, I love that you want to help him but I'm not sure we should help him." He says.

"Eugene, I promised Adira I would keep an eye out for him." I say.

I have to help him. He seems so different. It doesn't matter if he almost killed us more than once. 

"I am grateful." Adira says.

Eugene jumps. Pascal jumps. 

"Adira! How long have you been standing there?" He asks.

"Long Enough." She takes a bite of an apple.

"Adira. We really need to work on popping out of nowhere. It's unsettling." Eugene says. 

"Rapunzel, I know he's been acting strange. He's part of the brotherhood and if he's going through hardships. The brotherhood has to help him." Adira says.

I nod.

"Adira, do you mind?" Eugene asks her.

"No." She shakes her head.
