Jade closes her eyes and leans into me. My eyes find Nigel’s, and I shake my head, marveling at the fact he’s standing before me, unscathed. “How did we survive this?” I ask him in a broken voice. A shadow flickers within his eyes, and to my surprise, he laughs. “It’s because we were shoved in the back. It seems everyone that’s walking right now was either in the very back or the very front. When the engine exploded, it killed the ones in the middle instantly. It seems our social standing saved our lives.”
