Rex tried to find the right words. He spoke slowly. "I care about you. You were the only one who really accepted me when we were growing up. But what's more important for the future: what we want for relationships, or getting everyone here to safety?" He was silent for a moment. "But if there's an after to this... maybe then. I know how you feel about me, and I don't want to hurt you, but we have to consider what's best for the whole group."
