Sorry, Too Late
Darius was the last one to speak.
His eyes were bloodshot, shining with a slew of complicated emotions. He said nothing as he solemnly stared at Evan for a few moments.
When he parted his lips to speak, he couldn't help but stumble over his words, saying, "Evan, I'm sorry. Please don't send me to the authorities. I don't want to die..."
Although he sounded apologetic, he could hear the sound of his teeth grinding echoing in his ears. He had to force his throat to spit the apology out. Frankly, he was beyond furious and utterly humiliated.
