If Garden cost a lot, the implication was that those kids knew what they were doing, and Reyes knew it. They'd all seen some of those fighting skills on display just a few minutes ago, after all.
And Reyes wasn't blunt enough to pry just yet, to dig into what had just unfolded in front of them all, and what possible circumstances could've led to the friends being turned against each other like this. How do you go from trying to kill each other to living together?
It must be complicated. He knows complicated.
So in the end, he shrugs a shoulder, as if trying to shake off everything they've seen. "So. Want to check out where the hell we are?"
