–Si Jem muere, no puedo estar con Tessa, –dijo Will. –Porque sería como si estuviera esperando a que muriera, o como si me diera alegría su muerte, si eso me permite tenerla. Y no seré esa persona. No obtendré beneficio de su muerte. Entonces, él debe vivir. –Bajó su brazo, con la manga manchada de sangre. –Es la única forma de que esto signifique algo.
