"I feel responsible for Desmond's death, not Samson. His passing doesn't bring my sister back, but it hurts even more knowing what Desmond endured in prison. I feel like I played a part in his death. I feel like a murderer too. Lucas said, tears streaming down his face. Mark and Aiden approached him, offering comfort.
"You're not a murderer, Lucas. Things happen as they're meant to. I'm glad you're moving forward from this now," Mark said, embracing Lucas and giving him a reassuring pat on the back. "Everything will be okay."
The three friends eventually went to bed after sharing a heartfelt cry that helped lighten their hearts. They all slept on Lucas's bed, embracing each other as they drifted off to sleep.
Olive and Henry also went to their own dorms. While Henry still felt sorrow over the situation, Olive was confident that he would eventually heal and move forward. Losing loved ones is always painful, after all.
