Lies followed by more lies lies that Yazmod wished to believe himself. But in his head, he had known one thing.
He can't escape from whatever is headed his way. He can't hide and will eventually face retribution for all he has done in this city. And even if it was not him taking part in these cruel activities personally, he was equally if not more so responsible for them. So was his wife, who knew every bit of it.
Due to this, others around him will suffer, including his toddlers who are barely able to stay awake these days.
It was then the thought of sending his wife came to him. Sending her away with his kids to a safe place, or at least hiding them until this was all over, where they would be able to start a new life again.
He was ready to make a sacrifice and die at the hands of the avengers who were obviously targeting people involved with the company. Maybe, this was the only way to eke out a safer life for his family.
