"Well, first of all, all of the people you called us here to save are not here anymore."
Alex didn't outright say that the people Misty came looking for to save were dead.
He could tell that Misty was going through a lot, and there was the fact that a guy she used to know well, died in front of her just so that she could call for help.
"They are not here?"
Misty asked in a very low voice.
She was not dumb enough to not understand what Alex was doing, but she still hoped that the meaning behind Alex's words was not what she was thinking.
"I will get to that, but before that, let me tell you guys what this altar does."
Alex decided to talk about the altar so slowly give Misty the idea of what she avoided.
He wanted to let her know that she was alive and that's all that matters.
But then he thought.
'Why am I thinking so much?'
