112: Things that needed to be said

"Are you worried? Don't you trust your friends?" Maria turned toward Samuel at her side with an annoyed expression on her face. She did not appreciate being spoken to in such a way, even when the other was trying to be nice to her.

"It's not about trust. I trust them with my life but not their own. This is a suicide mission and they belittle me by thinking that I would not notice" Maria had conflicting thoughts about what Nao and Suna had planned.

"Then, shouldn't you stop them from doing something this foolish?" Samuel asked as he ran behind Maria. The man was still timid but had a much broader mindset than before. He looked content but worried as well.

Maria felt guilty when she thought back to the kid they had left behind to face Rucci alone but she could also tell that he was not dead. None of the two they had left behind were dead.
