Edward lifts his head and gives his alternate a sympathetic look. "Believe me, I know the feeling. But that would make your family very cross with you, and with me for letting you go. And if I went with you, like I'm half-inclined to, both our families would have our heads on pikes. And that's not to mention whether or not the Gate would be ticked at us for being stupid and getting ourselves killed. And I don't care if I do serve them, or if they are alternates of us and Al, I'm not inclined to piss off the Gate."
He frowns, thinking. "My first instinct is to not tell Sarah, at least, because after Silent Hill and her kidnapping ordeal, I don't think she's currently equipped to handle it. But... we should have a family meeting between our two families to figure out how to handle this Envy, if nothing else. And we can't very well do that and exclude her. So I leave that to your call."
