(Journal #4) Split Second Reaction

 The Last Day:


Miles, Chip and Takumi were the last ones to have seen Alaska on that day. They had all known that Alaska was not in a healthy state of mind when she went bounding down that highway. They all let her slip away, knowing what condition she was in, and she never came back. Miles, Chip and Takumi all got caught in the heat of the moment and let her go. I believe that their decision was something that any other person would make if someone was screaming at you, ordering to let her leave. None of them realized how your life is so precious that it could be taken away from you in a split second. The Colonel and Miles had to make a split second decision; they didn't have time to really process what was happening, not to mention the Colonel was also very drunk. Alaska was not thinking and made a stupid mistake to beg to leave at 3 in the morning, drunk and upset. All four of them had made a big mistake. The death of Alaska could have been easily avoided but knowing Alaska, even if she was told to stay, she would have kicked and screamed until they gave up. If it cam down to it, I also would have probably made that terrible decision that Miles, the Colonel and Takumi did. If I was woken up to a screaming and crying Alaska at 3 in the morning, I too would have net been able to properly process what was happening.
