The boys are in the middle of a fight when they hear that the other boys have come to get them, too. They're not going to fight, they tell the boys, because they're friends. They don't want to fight because it's their duty to make the boys stop and think about what they've done in the past and what they can do in the future. The boys say that they'll follow them no matter what happens, and that they won't let their friend get away.
