Slow

[Ellie's P.O.V]

I helped Joseph to sit on a nearby chair, and upon hearing Jeffrey's words, he trembled with anger. This guy was really stubborn. I was worried that bringing him here would infuriate Joseph. However, since we had promised Joseph, we couldn't go back on our word.

"You really..." I wanted to scold him but couldn't find the right words. "Don't you have family? Children? If your family were injected with the potion and on the brink of death, wouldn't you feel that you were wrong?"

At Jeffrey's age, he might even be a grandfather. Since he could be classmates with Panse, he must have had outstanding knowledge. Why couldn't he empathize with others? But then again, considering Panse's current selfishness, it was no surprise that Jeffrey, who was associated with him, was the same.
