But there's still a bitter anger in their chest, and they can only look away. The Fighter didn't just betray them, after all. He betrayed stardust, Siffrin, and that's so much worse. Did he ever really care about them, or was it always just his crush talking? They feel vile thinking about it.
And as much as they feel this is their responsibility to handle... hah, they'd just screw it up again, wouldn't they?
