I honestly don’t know what I would do, or what my conscience would tell me to do in a situation like that, but I think that faith would play a big role in how I act.
I think I would do anything if it meant saving my life, but I would draw a line at doing something forbidden in my religion.
Or at least I hope I would have that kind of strength!

In fiction, the stakes are different and the rules of the world are different. In that situation I might.

As for me personally, I think it would depend on the situation. I think the only way I would willingly help my kidnapper was if the consequences of not doing so were extremely dire. Even then, I certainly wouldn't ever be able to trust my kidnapper.

- Latest Review: Telling Your Story, Developing Your Brand by Henry Wong
While not having read the book, it is interesting to consider the factors that might influence Delvin's actions. It is possible that Delvin's decision to help Jarla goes beyond mere survival. There might be underlying motivations such as a sense of duty, empathy, or a personal connection that develops between them over time.
The book likely raises questions about the greater good and personal sacrifice. If Delvin believes that aiding Jarla's mission could save a country or prevent a great tragedy, he might feel compelled to make sacrifices for the greater good, despite the unorthodox circumstances of their relationship.
In response to the topic, individual opinions may vary. If they were on a mission with good intentions, some people could be willing to aid a kidnapper, while others might put their own safety first and decide not to. One's response to such a scenario is significantly influenced by personal experiences, values, and moral boundaries.

However, in the case of Jarla, considering her high status and her noble mission to save the country, I would probably align myself with her cause. Like Delvin, I would choose to become a member of her team and offer my assistance in any way possible. Being part of a mission to protect the greater good and defend innocent lives would be a path I'd willingly follow.
