章 214: Chapter 214 - The memory stone

About half an hour later, Erik, Emma, and Alice were sitting on the couches in the same hotel room they had occupied two days earlier. After mentioning her father's final message to her, it had taken very little effort to convince Alice to wait a little longer for her revenge.

The reason Erik wanted her to wait was based on Elora's recommendation. The fact is that allowing Alice to take revenge now, when her mind is overflowing with fury, might leave her with emotional scars after the deed is done. Currently, Alice is marinating in a mix of loneliness, fury, and loss, which means that killing Victor now would simply be lashing out at the injustice of it all.

Yet, if they showed her Björn's message first, it might allow Alice to find a little closure and ground her emotions, perhaps giving her a sense of continuity and purpose, beyond the immediate rage and desire for revenge.
