"You don't seriously expect me to walk away," I say, taken aback at that. "Enter's still potentially human even if he wasn't Etienne, and even if he's not human he's still *alive*."

I spread my hands at them both, then have to grab at a box when my leg threatens to give out under me. "My job is to protect life. All life, well as long as it's not actively trying to hurt me. I also *care* about Enter for his own damn sake and I'm not going to walk away. I will find a way to protect him."
