No. Not with the rest of us leaving. Blanche would either hurt you in anger over us leaving or he'd hurt you to either lure us back or prepare for the possibility. You'd have him lingering over you constantly just like Gregory Universe is constantly under his watch lately. Then you wouldn't be able to do anything to help anyone. -He could even brainwash you further- take away your power again!

You made the right choice getting out of there.
