Chapter 532 Severed Paths, Shifting Loyalties

Avery's heart was in turmoil.

"Captain, how can you say that?" Steven protested, his voice trembling. "Didn't you say we'd stick together? Even if you're struggling now, we could've faced it as a team!"

How could he throw them away so easily?

"Don't act on impulse, Captain. Whatever you're facing, we can figure it out- together." Steven looked around at the wreckage of the day, imagining what else might lie ahead. Today was bad. But what about tomorrow? Or the next time?
