Atlas's expression turned serious as he shook his head. "Don't overthink it. Now that he's on the ship, he'll seize the opportunity. It's just a matter of timing.

"You did nothing wrong. Keeping them together is not a good sign. Creating a rift between them and making them suspicious of each other-that's the opening we need. It leaves room for us to act. You played that strategy well."

Atlas took my hand in his, looking at me meaningfully.

"You can trust me. I won't stand idly by, whether it's for you or anyone on that ship. And Jitador is my territory. I'm confident in finding the antidote. You can rest assured," he comforted me, showing extraordinary patience.
