________________________________________________________________________________________
Efraín sat alone, away from the others.
He seemed to be doing that a lot lately.
Back home, whenever he walked into the dining hall to find Timothy and Desta talking, he had to sit somewhere else. Desta could sit there if Efraín was talking to Timothy, Timothy could sit there if Efraín was talking to Desta, but when they were talking to each other there was a bubble that Efraín couldn't break into. Hr could only sit alone, watching them talk.
Efraín was friends with everybody---to others, it was inconceivable that he would feel alone or unwanted, just because his two best friends were so close that they weren't paying attention to him anymore.
And now, he was listening to the others talk about Desta's death in the battle, and how they had to find Timothy after he had abandoned them all.
Efraín had never felt so alone.
