Now, walking to his room with a bitter feeling, Christian couldn't stop thinking about his sister, about what he had heard from her, about the tone she used when speaking to him, and even more so about the expression on her face, the strained look she had shown him for the first time.

He felt that, at the moment, securing their safety - her safety - was still more important.
