Initially, Edward didn't believe it. However, when he heard someone in the tribe say that the lioness could save them, he decided to go to the Lion Tribe to find her and save everyone. But the Lion Tribe's defenses were too strong, and within days, the White Tiger Tribe came to drive them away. Seeking help from the Lion Tribe, Edward was mocked and driven away. Now, he doesn't believe Clara's words. All he wants is for everyone to survive.
"I won't believe you! You're a monster, and we need to burn you so everyone else can live!" Edward angrily declares, his breath heavy, face flushed, and eyes showing signs of illness.
