Clementine:
She said it so bluntly that even my heart skipped a beat. Haiden stared at her in disbelief.
"The train is right here. We can still go back north to look for her. And since she has been gone for maybe a few hours, we should be able to find her," I said, trying to make Miss Rue understand that it was really important and that we couldn't just keep leaving our people behind like they meant nothing. We are better than monsters.
"I understand what you are trying to say, Clementine, but if we did it for her today, tomorrow we would have to do it for others too. And you guys said she went missing out of the blue. She must have left on her own." The way she said it made me feel pity for her brain, for how it worked.
"A pregnant girl living on her own in a world where she wouldn't even be able to defend herself—how does that make sense to anyone?" I argued, and I noticed how upset she looked that I was the one raising questions.
