บท 376: Moving On Part 5

Celine's heart raced as she faced her old friends, her voice trembling with emotion.

"Listen!" she shouted. "You don't have to do this. Ryder is just using you. He's not a real leader; he's a monster . You don't have to give up your lives for him. You're not just weapons—you're people with your own choices!"

Her words made the remaining divergents pause for a moment. 

"Enough!" Ryder shook his head "You think you can turn them against me? "

One of the divergents, who was close to Celine before, looked uncertain. He glanced at his teammates and then at his master.

"Think about it," she urged. "Is this really what you want? To die for someone who only sees you as tools? You can leave. You can live your own lives."

'Not really.' Reign thought, remembering his plan to destroy the city later. There was no way anyone could escape, unless she managed to take them with her.
