I was too busy hating myself for bringing this up with Tobias. Tobias, of all people! He was already a casualty in this war. He was trapped in a hawk morph. And here I was thinking of bailing out? What was the matter with me? I couldn't leave. Leave Tobias living in the forest? Leave my best friend Cassie to fight, maybe to die, so I could cut and run? Leave Jake and Marco and Ax?
Why? Because my dad was lonely and I could take gymnastics classes?
Can we live a real life? A real life? Do we even know what that means?
Can we live a real life? And know people outside machiiiines?
Can we live a real life? Between the devil and the digital sea?
