Joy and satisfaction because they killed the cyborg? Relief at having dodged yet another bullet? Fear that they’re still being hunted? Exhilaration at having kissed Luce for the first time, even if it was nothing more than an act to save their lives? But he doesn’t feel any of those emotions. All he feels is deep and profound sadness. Luce was almost killed because of him. She shouldn’t even be here. She shouldn’t even be associated with him. As if aware of what he’s feeling, she refuses to leave his side, even after they’ve managed to sneak through the Tunnels and enter the old warehouse, as if he might disappear at any second. “Luce, you need to go find Geoffrey.” Benson hates the fact that his heart doesn’t want her to go, even if he knows it could save her life. “Geoffrey is safe—you said it yourself. I’m not going anywhere,” Luce says. “I can’t go anywhere.” It’s the last part that hurts the most, because he knows it’s true.
