Chapter 452: A suicide Mission
Kellen ended up going back to the conference room on his own. Rhys wouldn’t go with him. Couldn’t go with him. He just shook his head, waving Kellen away and looked as if the world was coming down around him.
Kellen headed back to the conference room with tear stains on his clothes that no one else could see since he was in his Field Guide uniform, but it was a heavy weight on him. His expression was grim, and unlike what Rhys expected and many others who didn’t know him thought he would say, Kellen came back with a sigh.
"We didn’t reach a conclusion." Kellen told them, and Sakura stared at Kellen. Her eyes were firm, and Kellen could see the same look from a few others. Hill especially.
"You did come to a conclusion, but you don’t want to break his heart." Hill muttered and Kellen shifted uncomfortably. Her gaze was hard, harsh. She liked Kellen, but she was clearly in the Rhys camp. He wasn’t going to fight her on this.
It was her right to judge him like this.
Kellen didn’t feel good about this, which was the reason why he had said what he had. If he thought, for even a second, that someone else would step up to do this? He would probably take it.
The problem was, he didn’t think anyone would.
After the death of the other Field Guides and Espers who had gone into the gate, there had been a significant decline in Field Guides who wanted anything to do with the gate. He didn’t think this new development would change anything for the better. A lot of Field Guides were semi suicidal, but that didn’t mean they were ready to commit.
In their minds, going into that gate willingly was committing.
Kellen wasn’t dumb. He knew that was probably what they were all thinking, especially with Brent...missing. Their chances of finding anyone else who would want to do this was...low. Very low.
Kellen ran his hand over his face, the sigh leaving his body holding a piece of his heart. His soul.
