"I am sorry," Jayden said quietly. He really felt guilty, especially after he heard how Apple viewed this situation, of course he didn't mean to hurt her like that. "I didn't mean to lie to you. I just don't want you on this mission," Jayden explained from his own point of view.
And this explanation was already within Apple's expectations from the start. She knew that the reason Jayden didn't include her must be because of this. However, she still couldn't understand why she wasn't allowed to go now...
"I took part in the first mission, why do you think I can't participate in this mission?" Apple asked in a demanding voice. She had proven herself that she was capable of carrying out the missions that Jayden had given her before, so what had changed now?
Jayden frowned, as if he was deep in thought about this, but then he answered quite quietly. His voice was barely audible. "Because things are different now."
