As the wolves closed in, despair settled into Arianas heart.
It seemed like she was doomed.
She was utterly exhausted now, unable to move.
Do you have any energy Left? Run and save yourself, Bennett said.
Im grateful for how far youve brought me, but I dont want you to die because of me. Dont you still want to find Holden? If you die here, youll never find him.
Although he suspected Holden had died, Bennett fabricated this to motivate Ariana to continue.

Is death all you can think about? Ariana retorted, her frustration mounting with each syllable.
She felt weary to the bone, yet the prospect of finding Holden ignited a flicker of vitality within her. Dying was not an option.
She said to Bennett, If youre truly thankful, then endure this pain. Its a far better fate than dying here. With the wolves still some distance away, Ariana assisted Bennett to his feet and urged him forward.
After running for a while, they spotted a small, seemingly deserted cabin. Ariana rushed towards it, shoving Bennett inside before collapsing to catch her breath. Ill draw the wolves away. I cant keep carrying you; wed both end up dead, Just stay here and wait for me to return.
But. Bennett began to object. However, Ariana stopped him by slamming the door shut and darting back into the forest.

From behind the window, Bennett watched her vanish.
He couldnt fathom why she hadnt abandoned him.
He didnt believe she was afraid that he would contact his crew when he was alone. After all, the area was so secluded that even a detailed map wouldnt prevent one from getting Lost.
Apparently, there was only one reason: Ariana didnt want him to die.
But why? Considering his past actions towards her and the death of the man she cherished caused by him, why didnt she desire his demise?
Did she Like him? No way.
If they escaped successfully, Ariana would probably take revenge on him.
It seemed her kindness was the only plausible explanation.
This realization stirred something in Bennett.
Rarely had he encountered genuine kindness-neither from his relatives nor from anyone else.
He struggled to grasp the essence of kindness and the reasons behind its existence.
Yet, Ariana embodied it. Despite her delicate appearance, her kindness was a formidable force.
For the first time, Bennett felt an emotional awakening. Maybe he could learn from Ariana on how to genuinely care for another and how to truly love.
