I would love nothing more than to be able to promise I'll always be there. But I can't do that. I've been in situations like this before, and sometimes I make the right decision and I'll never know whether there's a chance I could have seen any of my family while they were still alive. What I know is that if I'd tried, two hundred people almost certainly would have been killed in a landslide, and a hell of a lot more probably would have starved. Sometimes I make the wrong choice and I have to carry people's deaths on my shoulders forever because I let my emotions convince me to abandon them in favour of someone that, realistically, was stable enough to wait. I'm desperately low on staff here, so I had to trust that the others could help you. I hate that. I hate trusting other people do to anything important. But right now I don't have a choice. All I can do is promise that when there is a choice, I'll be there. I don't want you to have to question that.
