Why was this happening? Had he not decided to let go of his hindrances and come with them? So why was his life now having worse days than ever before? Why did being free hurt so much? Of course, that was a stupid question really. Every choice has a consequence. But he'd rather be free and facing great perils than be captured and know what he would be doing the next day. It was a strange feeling, being willing to die so he could live, but Zolo had gotten used to crazy adventures long ago. This was just when he realized what his subconscious had known all along.
