Everything had already been discussed, even if it was not in great detail, in a way that covered every single outcome that could have come from what had taken place.
Nobody could have known that Silas would fall, but Cedric still had a part to play in the present situation.
All that Ash had to do was to remain quiet and stand back.
Her role in all of it was finished, so it was better to leave everything else to him.
Elias was the most emotional of the group, so he was the first to react.
He turned toward Ash and glared at her.
It did not take long for him to step away from the edge and to walk toward her. "You. If you had just helped him in that moment, then this would not have happened."
In his emotional state, all that he cared about was the fact that Ash had been the closest person to Silas when he had fallen.
It became her fault that things had ended up the way that they did since she could have stopped it from happening.
