Eijar understood that what Lexie was saying about Isiah was accurate, as he despised the girl and wouldn't care if she were gone. However, at that moment, Eijar realized that Lexie was needed to keep the peace within their group. Isiah was acting irrationally and causing fear among the others, and Eijar was forced to be there due to their connection. He believed that having someone who seemed stable would help maintain their sanity and prevent them from turning on each other.
"So, are you just going to stay here until you rot and die?" Eijar asked, his anger evident.
Lexie looked around, holding her hands steady, then met Eijar's gaze and replied, "I guess so. I don't have a reason to live anymore. I lost my entire family in Delwias Island and couldn't even get revenge on the person responsible. Now, I'm here alone and hurting, and I'm not sure I want to keep living."
Eijar crawled into Lexie's lap and looked up at her. "Do you mean you're better off dead?"
