I paused, noticing that his facial expression appeared conflicted. Perhaps I needed to pry even further.
"This Camp won't last much longer, and there's no telling what could happen in the future. Besides… with your wife's ability and your brains, I don't think it will be impossible to survive out there.

His fists tightened when he heard my last statement, but I didn't care. What else would one call a bunch of useless liabilities that only knew how to do domestic work.
"This is a sinking ship, Charles… and you know it. It's only a matter of time before it all comes crashing down."
"You think I don't know that?!" He finally burst out, unable to control himself anymore.
A smile formed on my face since I had finally gotten the reaction I wanted.
"Why then?"
