They are feline very depressed
The third passage? It literally says they had forgotten him.
"All this time no one had remembered Ravi. (Having disappeared from the scene, he had disappeared from their minds. Clean)"
Individuals in life or death situations should not be held accountable for their action. They are obviously going to want to be alive and happy, and not die or live in misery, so victims would most likely do whatever it takes to survive. Whoever made the decisions weren’t fully thinking it through because we all develop mentally at a different age for children and adults. Individuals who are in life or death situations don’t put themselves in that positions purposely to where they know they can die. In situations like these, everyone feels stress to the point where they have no other option until it is too late when they make their final choice
hope this helps :'>
