Cruz woke up. He had fainted because of the Code Cast. As he got up, he could see that Delilah was obviously angry at him. Her idea of solution wasn't the same that Cruz had. He knew that it was risky to use it, since it could hit Theo. He got up, wobbly. The Code Cast removed too much of his vital energy and he needed a rest. As he looked, Theo, Delilah and Tyler were the only ones in the room. Lhermite was quiet, which it was strange as well. First of all, he looked at Theo. "I'm glad... that you are... awake.", he said. Even his way of talking was slow, meaning his energy was almost at zero. Then, he looked at an angry Delilah. "I'm sorry... for causing trouble... to you. I do not... blame you... for hating me... like everyone else...", he said to her.
However, one thing was sure. When he reached his room, Cruz would probably lock himself there and he wouldn't leave anytime sooner. Everyone hates me... just because of who I am. Fine. If I'm destinied to stay alone, then so be it., he thought. We bowed to them, and walked towards the door. But as soon as he grabbed the doorknob, a tear fell from his eye. Why... am I crying? It won't matter what I do, no one will be friends with someone like me. Even if my actions were good, I'll be judged by my race., he thought. Cruz left the room without looking back.
