Summary
“They took the ore. Sold it to the Ebryians.”
“Why?” Ki asks. His voice is so genuinely confused that Matas glances back at him. He looks lost, the shadows covering the cell turning his face even more childlike than usual.
“This was never about freedom,” Matas looks up at the cracking plaster ceiling. In the darkness, it seems lower than before. Pushing down on him with the knowledge that they’ve both been used as pawns, along with thousands of others, to do the dirty work of those without the stomach or spine to walk even a day with them.
“They promised us what we wanted, and we believed them. Every last one of us.”
