    Summary

    You can’t expect teenagers to make the best decisions— especially desperate teenagers. Ones trying to figure out where they’ll survive in a war, or just trying to find the next meal to fill their brother’s stomach.

    Yor’s decision to kill for a living felt right before she crossed paths with the hardset boy hanging from a rooftop ledge, and later learned of his affiliations. Twilight’s decision to join WISE, not seeing another path forward for a nameless child from a wartorn village, felt right before a wide-eyed Ostanian girl pulled him to safety and repaired his wound.

    Things feel right when you’re cornered. But what happens once you’re out of the corner and other paths emerge? What happens when your past choices hold you back from what- or who -you want now?

    How do you break free from your old choices?
