Rosana's eyes narrowed, but she didn't push further. Ty, however, caught the strange weight in Waddle's words. He had mentioned before that he was trying to get back to where he belonged, but he'd never been specific. Now, Ty wondered if Waddle's story was more complicated than just surviving the Arena.
