Phil's death came like a cold blow to Alex; it was as if a bucket of cold water had been dropped on him. He had only gotten to know Phil after entering the group. The man was an easy-going person and always looked out for him whenever they went out on missions or raids. He treated Alex like a little brother and Alex had a good impression of him.
Although he had only known Phil for less than two weeks, hearing about his death made Alex feel sad. According to the members of the group, no one knew how Phil had died, they only found his body after everything was over.
Alex then asked about Joan, he didn't need anyone's help to know that Joan and Phil had something special between them. She must have been devastated by the news.
As expected, he learned that Joan had locked herself in her room since yesterday and wouldn't stop crying; Alex felt bad for her and even sad that he couldn't save Phil.
If only he had paid more attention, he might have been able to prevent their deaths.
