I pressed on Taylor's chest so that he would lie down.
"Stop talking..."
"I was lucky. I wasn't special, so they always targeted... the two geniuses who didn't fit in..."
As Taylor spoke, he began to cough up more blood.
I wondered if his ribs had already pierced through his lungs.
"On that day when they were going to commit arson... I was scared. I heard their plans, but I hesitated. I wasn't sure if I should tell both of them…"
"I felt guilty, so I secretly told Dexter. I told him to escape with Simeon... That they should leave the orphanage since the rest were going to commit arson…"
"But Dexter said that there was somebody that he was waiting for, so he refused to leave."
Taylor looked at Dexter. I also turned around to look at Dexter.
So did everyone else....
It turned out that someone had notified Dexter of the arson beforehand.
I wondered why Dexter didn't escape, causing Simeon's death in the process.
