After a while, the pirate ship had reached where Shina was. The twins threw a rope for her and Remi to climb on to the boat.
Shina went limp as soon as she was on the deck, Remi did the same. They lay down on the wooden floor, visibly exhausted and trembling in the cold.
"I can't believe it..." Finch muttered.
"You're really planning to reach Sekhtar. We thought there would be the marines here waiting for you, but it turns out Jessika was right."
Nozomi stepped in and said:
"Save the talk for later. Jessika, bring her to the bath and warm her and the dragon up."
The brown-haired girl, assisted by Rico, took Shina and Remi to the baths inside the ship.
When only Finch, Nozomi and Franco were left on the deck, silence hung thick in the air.
Guilt was evident in their faces.
"Man... I'm glad we changed our mind. Her blood would have been on our hands," Finch stated.
