"What about the rest of them?"

Hunter shook her head. "The rest of them are dead. This is our best chance to stop it. If we try to fight it ourselves, we will win."

"We'll lose more people than that. What if there are other survivors? What if they come back?"

Hunter smiled. "Then we will locate them and secure their escape." There are many survivors out there. Many of them are your friends."

He turned away from Lux. "Fine. Do whatever you like. I'm done playing games."

He placed her hand on his shoulder. "I won't thank you for trying to help me."

"Don't thank me yet. You may have decided not to swap out with me today, but I promise I will be back one day."

"That's true. But when you return, it won't be because of me."

Lux fell unconscious.

Hunter watched as he fell. He saw him smile once more. It was the first time he ever saw him smiling while unconscious. He sighed sadly; he was taking over.
