Liv's heroic voice rang out, "Lilly, send me out of the field."
"Why do you not wish to fight with me? Don't you also hate how Dearest behaves? I can understand the others. But I thought you of all people would feel the same as I do, sweetheart."
"I am sorry, Lilly. But I am different from all of you. Of the seven of us, only I demanded a price from Beloved. I serve and adore him in exchange for saving the North. I hated myself for giving him such a burden. Which was why I wanted to protect him."
"But he doesn't even care about any of that! That is just how absurd he is! If we do not change his ways he will die! The world is too dangerous! I cannot understand why Jas, Bella, even Jo can allow it. Aki's fear is a bit too extreme, but I think she is right."
