Could he call anyone at his school friends...? Maybe Azul? Then again, Azul would sell him out in a second if something he deemed valuable was offered. But that wasn't the issue with this all, it wasn't the chance of being stabbed in the back or anything like that, since Idia was the same. You did what you had to get ahead.

It was a rather different matter... and not one he's going to talk about. However Idia does actually have an answer to that question. "One person, yes, but he's not here..." Ortho was different. He was always supposed to be by Idia's side, no matter what... but he wasn't. Not on the train.
