But whether I like it or not, we share the same blood…..the blood of Apollo and I needed to make a peace with that in my mind. I needed to linger in that thought but he was beyond harsh this time. Thorne attempted to go outside of this room and I let him be. Nothing can make a man stay on a place that he doesn’t want to be.

All of it… over. It felt like a miracle. A real one. "Who… who are they?" I finally asked. "The Thorne Foundation? Why would they do this?" "I don't know!" Mrs. Byrne said, throwing her hands up.
