It's to late to say the truth...

After Erik left the room and the parents started coming to where Erik's friends rested, Amber gestured to her friends to stay silent about Erik's involvement. They understood what the woman said and refrained from saying anything regarding the fact that the five men went there to kidnap Erik.

The parents were angry, but it was clear they had no intention of withdrawing their children from the Red Palace. If they did, they would jeopardize their future, and since they were obligated to join the military, it would have been counterproductive to do so, as it would have made life difficult for the children in the future.

After the parents left, Amber, Floyd, Gwen, Anderson, Aaron, Mikey, Martha, and Benedict started talking. Amber explained the general situation to them and what happened after they went K.O.
