He had to mean he sent Evie and them. Or guards. Or... or something. Either this was some other Ben or her Ben but from ahead. She wasn't sure which.

But either way... Ben? On the Isle? They'd eat him up alive! Terror for him almost had her reaching out as he started to walk away, but she forced herself not to. Tried to remind herself that this was better, that she could slip away while his back was turned.

But she couldn't get herself to move.
