Hearing this, Zoey was at a loss. She could see that Charlie was not joking.
She didn't know what he should do if Charlie really didn't want to also take her companions.
She hadn’t expected her group of friends to be so anti-intellectual. They’d already offended Charlie to death even before Charlie revealed his identity. Now no matter how they plead with Charlie, it is reasonable for Charlie to not save them.
Although she wanted to leave Syria and go on to Aurous Hill to be reunited with her father, she couldn't bear leaving her friends behind to escape alone.
For a brief moment Zoey even thought about not leaving, and just staying behind with her friends to live or die together. Even if they all died, she would face it with a clear conscience. Otherwise, if she fled alone to safety and the other seven died, she would never be rid of the heavy guilt deep in her heart for the rest of her life.
