The teens arrive at the hostel, and Luna couldn't help but let out a yawn as they walk past the dinning room. Nico was the first to speak up and gives everyone orders, "All right, everyone, get some sleep. We'll reconvene in the morning"
Luna was ready to follow Karolina and Nico up the stairs, but Gert speaks up making everyone stop and turn to look at her, "Can I just say what we're all thinking?"
"No one else is thinking it" Nico says taking her foot off the first step and walk towards the makeshift circle everyone was creating
"It's all you" Molly says with a supportive smile
"We're really just welcoming him back after everything?" Gert asks dropping her duffle bag before looking over at Chase
"I'm standing right here," Chase speaks up as he stands a few feet away from the teens, "You don't have to third person me"
"He's been through a lot" Karolina defends not seeing Chase finding shelter with them as a problem
"Yeah, and so have we" Alex says looking over at Luna who only shrugs her shoulders too tired to care, "And Gert's right. Most of it's been his fault"
"Okay, I guess we're sticking with the third person" Chase comments as he awkwardly stands looking into the circle the teens created for themselves
"He just lost his mom and his dad" Karolina sympathetically defends him once more
"Okay. I feel bad about that for sure" Gert whispers
"The more parents we lose, the safer we get" Alex says making Luna glare at the teen but Alex doesn't see it as he turns to look at Chase, "One night"
"Wait," Molly speaks up making all eyes turn to her, "I was pissed at Chase too for betraying us and being a coward--"
"Still right here, guys" Chase comments
"But this is our moment of victory. And we're all here together. I've basically lost two set of parents, and ill be damned if I lose any more family members. Yeah. Chase is family. Even if he's a cowardly betrayer"
"No disagreement here" Luna adds to Molly's speech
"All I'm saying is... I think he should stay," Molly conveys with a smile, "And you all can just get over it. Because we're a family. So, say your 'sorrys' to each other, and let's celebrate!"
"Yeah, um..." Alex scoffs looking down at his crossed arms
"I'm too tired for this," Luna mumbles as she rubs her collar bone and looks over at Chase, "One night"
"I'm pretty beat" Karolina comments before turning around to place her arm over Nico's shoulder and the two start walking up the stairs
"I tried" Molly tells Chase as everyone was walking away
