“We’ve split up.“ Theo’s voice sounded slightly hoarse through the phone. “Zach and Yuri have left with Nellie, and Neil and I are still here, but we’re pretending as if nothing has happened to stall them. My father will send some people over to meet up with us in a while, and we’ll all leave together.“
