“We need a plan.”

Yes, Alto came up with a plan with Janus and Jayden, but he also had one of his own. It was a backup if something went wrong, a plan that no one could know. Except DJ. Alto picked DJ because he remembered. He remembered DJ’s loyalty to never betray. He knew that DJ always wanted the best for the people he loved. It was DJ who had the leadership skills that Alto always wanted. But it was DJ who had a dangerous flaw. Gullibility.

Alto knew he shouldn’t take advantage of that, but he also knew the war had lasted too long. Peace with Ustreyburg could be a way to resolve everything once and for all.

“You daydreaming there, Alto?” Jayden asked suddenly, startling Alto.

“I don’t daydream,” he murmured. Jayden furrowed his brows, confused. He snaked an arm around Alto’s shoulder as they walked. “Jayden I know that look you’re giving me. Stop getting inside my head, it’s annoying.”

“Jeez, what’s gotten into you? Are you feeling alright?”
