Haiden:
"You don't have to keep following me. You have your own squad. Why don't you go be with them?" Sadie said after I had followed her in silence for a few minutes.
"They can take care of themselves," I said, watching her slow down and turn around to look at me.
"And I can't?" she asked, sounding tired. Of course she was. She was pregnant, and they had made her come here. What kind of monsters do that?
"You can, but not in this state," I said, pointing at her belly. I was trying not to be insensitive, but what could I do? I desperately wanted to give her a coat or a jacket, but I had none. Rue had decided I should flex my biceps while others got cool jackets.
"Haiden, you're a nice guy, and I don't blame you for earlier. You didn't know any better. You were just trying to comfort me. It's not like I would have survived trying to cross the wires," she uttered in her sweet and gentle tone, reminding me why she was so different from the others.
