Quote from chapter:
"'As long as I'm alive, I'm not letting anybody die on my side during this war." Maria smiles at me and I look back at her. Her eyes begin to well with tears. 'Golly Gee Whizz! Let's get to fighting, shall we? We've gotta destroy cobs and save everyone he mind controlled!' She grabs my hand with one hand and takes out a gun with the other. 'Let's fix this.'"

// POV:
CABBY//

I'd... hate to be that person.

I don't like how I'm just... leaving everyone. But I... can't participate.

I have a gun from Isabella in my lower drawer, ready for use... but I can't bring myself to use it.

Not emotionally, because I have months of built up rage... ready to let go. But instead physically...

I cough into my hands, watching the blood trickle down them, washing over my scar on my hand, and onto the stones below.

The air around me reeks of iron from my blood, the blood pouring out of my mouth.

This is it...

I am dying.

And surprisingly... I am not sad.

Not sad at all.

But still, I pull out the pink gun and I hold it in my hands.
