“All that want and need. No matter what Running Bird says, I can’t save these people. But there’s one person I can save. I’ve been going back and forth and back and forth about it. Is this the choice that the man at the circus foresaw or remembered or whatever?

Is this the choice? I hide out in my tent for... a few hours, ignoring the gentle “knocks” and whispers from people wanting to talk to me, including Lauren and Zack, until the camp is quiet. I wait until they’re all tucked away in their tents. Slowly, I unzip my tent flap and crawl outside. The air is chilly.
