Sean was indignant about Susan's lack of cooperation. It made him almost turn mad that Susan still tried to decouple herself and tried to act as outcast, although that was not her real nature.
"Looks like you still don't put even a single bit of trust im me, although I tried to make you as comfortable as possible. No one ever saw you as 'that one person'. There are no people who get left behind in the inner circle..."
"Don't worry, I am sure some new member would come along and help you with whatever you intend to do, you don't have to change someone."
He remained silent for a short moment to gather his thoughts.
"You can't just replace a person. That's not possible. If you leave, then there will always be a gap...and I never tried to change you. I intended to stop this...charade of yours. No idea what you've done before, and honestly: I stopped caring about that. If you want to keep your current name, it's alright. But tell us - or at least someone - what you've done. Even if you don't want to do that...it's still fine. Just...when you're leaving, there will be concequences. For you. For me. For everyone in the inner circle. So c'mon, there will be no one judging, no matter what you've done you'd still be a part of the Commonwealth."
"Do you want to know what comes first in the inner circle? I'll tell you: trust. If we can't trust each other, then we're all condemned.
The second thing is secrecy. Life is short and hard, and when you don't want to die earlier than you'd have to, I'd suggest staying here, for the sake of everyone. Your chances of survival are way higher in a group than being on your own. And as I said before, no one will ever betray you in the inner circle."
