[ Shane: You planning to accept? ]
Shane replied after a few moments. To be honest, he was also surprised by Natalie's sudden message. They were certainly not enemies, but it was hard to call themselves friends.
After all, their relationship was mostly built through various business transactions.
[ Natalie: I am. But only if you're okay with it. I won't let them turn this into an anti-Shane movement. If I lead, I'll steer it toward survival… not rebellion. ]
[ Shane: That's all I ask. I don't want to fight other Survivors. I want to end the Apocalypse. If they follow you, they'll listen. You've got credibility and compassion. And you're not trying to play god like Lancelot… ]
Although it seemed like it was just lip service, Natalie still smiled after seeing Shane's reply.
[ Natalie: Speaking of him… I've heard some information... Stormcall Assembly and Celestial Circle are backing the Pact too. But they're not clean. I suspect Lancelot's hand is behind them. ]
