John's job was simple. All he needed to do was sit on a chair while Henry and Felicia waited for the Grievous Souls to possess him.
"W-what?!"
John was scared senseless. He slowly walked backward, ready to dash out of the city.
"If you run now, your Deepest City will be gone forever."
Henry eyed him solemnly. It was a warning and a reminder. He was conscious right now because Henry wanted to.
Their plan would still work if John was unconscious.
"Relax. I won't let you die."
Henry sighed. He understood the concern and worry John felt. He had some reservations since he didn't want to die.
"Are you sure you will save Deepest City?"
John took a deep breath. It was hard for him to decide. He could save himself, or he could save everyone and risk himself.
As a human being, he instinctively wanted to save himself. But from Henry and Felicia's persuasion, he resisted that instinct. He knew a lot of people in the city.
