There is a way, they say.
A price.
A choice only you can make.
Could there be another Nexari on campus?
"...Magic doesn't exist,"
"Wait-you're a Nexari?"
"Please... don't make me learn how to live without you."
"You shouldn't have left us like that,"
"I... I need you here."
"Clade, don't you dare. You know how cruel they are. Even if you surrender, they'll still kill everyone."
"I like you."..."I don't know when it started. Maybe when you patched me up after that first fight, or when you yelled at me for skipping practice. Or maybe it was before all that. But it's you. It's always been you."
"I love you." he said softly, letting the words carry over the mindlink. "Even if you only see me as your younger brother, even if... even if that's all I am to you... I will always love you. Thank you for everything. For keeping me safe, for being who you are.... be strong. Always. Goodbye"
"After the fight... you and I go somewhere far away.. Just us.. No fighting. No artifacts. No saving the world. We'll take a train, or fly somewhere warm. Somewhere quiet. You can complain about the sun and I'll complain about sand."
