Did Elvin die for nothing?
Did all those cleaners who willingly sacrificed themselves for their ideals die for nothing?
Did the cleaners give up so much for it all to end in vain?
Aaron still believed that Yang Yi and the cleaners might have joined forces to deliver a compelling performance for him. And if Aaron thought this was possible, then perhaps all the sacrifices and efforts weren't wasted.
Because Aaron merely felt it was possible right now, and without the cleaners paying the price, Aaron wouldn't even entertain such a possibility.
Yang Yi wouldn't have earned his current treatment either—a traitor of no value with questionable loyalty—what good would keeping him around do?
So, the cost was worth it. However, when it came to Aaron's confidence, Yang Yi simply couldn't figure it out.
Speculation and guesses were certainly permissible, but Yang Yi didn't dare make any guesses now, fearing it might cloud his judgment.
