Asterisk, 2f Cafeteria
"Julia, are you sure about this?" Jarxen asked, "We can still go back if you change your mind. But once we take a step forward, we won't be able to go back. Think about it first. Don't you think this might endanger your son's life? They're still in the Runners Survivors after all."
Julia looked at him with a worried expression on her face. For the past few days, she was also thinking about the consequences that she'd incur to herself once Head Cipher knew about her escape. Her resolve remained resolute, however, and she decided to go through with it.
Deep inside, Julia was being affected by her emotions alone since her husband just died. Even though her goal in aiding Blond and his team to get out of the Runners Survivors safely, her mind was still clouded due to her emotions. In fact, she didn't have to go inside the Outside right now. If she did, then it would just cause unnecessary trouble for her son.
