"Wait for me! Don't leave me behind!”

"You've got a point," Jonathan said, fixing his gaze on Kent Henry as he stood up and moved away from the concealed entrance to the underground river.

Wait, maybe that's not entirely accurate. For some, the truth was certainly more important - scientists, for instance, who would give their lives in pursuit of one answer. And for selfless devotees, other people's lives were surely significant too - they would trade their own to save others. As for saving the world? That's like the trolley problem: sacrificing a few to save many. Is it worth it? From a cold, logical standpoint, it is. But it's also an ethical dilemma since those few had done no wrong and did not deserve to die for the many.
