They didn't answer...
...
But there was a response...
...
...
Nodding, he slid past his mom and headed for the staircase...
...
Covering her right arm, she followed suit...
...
...
They couldn't even trust their own son?
...
Gid had nothing to say...
...
...
Because there was nothing to say...
...
He had never had a family...
...
...
And for his first to act like this?
...
"I'm glad this boy didn't survive..."
...
...
"Else this would've been their true actuality..."
...
"May they find someplace to truly belong..."
