Calidi continued to struggle against Clay’s grip. The gun hadn’t been too far away when he had ran for it. It briefly registered to him that this was something he was supposed to be happy about, and that he was supposed to melt into Clay’s embrace at this point and say yes to whatever the other man was saying. But that would be selfish, right? He was a mistake that shouldn’t have been made.

Why is it me who gets to live on with them?” Clay’s last statements seemed to hit something in Calidi. His eyes focused on somewhere behind the person currently holding him in place. “And You’re right. My decision.”
