Despite those thoughts that were present in his mind, Max thought to himself. 'No… I cannot just abandon her like this… can I?"
He was still struggling until his mouth opened and his fists clenched tightly showing how tense he was. "I…"
He was just about to make his decision and let them know what he had chosen.
Ash who was near him was feeling quite distressed about it too.
A part of her was feeling like she would receive another mental wound in a moment if she listened any longer.
She tried not to be scared of what would happen next but she could not stop herself from imagining Max saying that he would leave her there.
A part of her still feared being abandoned despite her trying to remain strong and telling herself that it was the right decision for Max.
She did not want to hear those words from his mouth and feared hearing them from him.
