[ They never really had the chance to sit down, all of them, and talk contingency plans together. Something that everyone would be okay with. They have been busy with exploring and living in the moment to actually pause to do that. And it's easier just enjoying the present instead of worrying about what's to come.
Shaking his head. ] Still doesn't make it right to break promises and leave like that. I get it's scary and he doesn't want to hurt me or anyone else. I know him, Zack. I know why he thinks he's right.
[ He'd spoken with everyone about one back at the maze though. Thought they'd all follow through. But in the end, a plan's just a plan. Doesn't guarantee they'd stick to it in the end. They haven't. So, now they have to work with what's on hand. He knows they can't look back. ]
Sometimes fear capsizes everything else, even promises. You'd rather lose yourself than lose anyone else, even if you're afraid. Just keep talking to him. See if you can convince him to come back.
[ It's all they can do really. The best that can be done. Jim's as stubborn as the rest of them. But can he really give him shit for it given the situation? No, probably not.

Yeah, I will. Thanks Zack. I'll see you as soon as I can.
[ Saying that doesn't stop the way he lingers with the call. Doesn't stop him from trying to think of something- anything else to say. But there's nothing more he can do to help. He just has to actually follow through with those words and part of trusting is hanging up.
