    Summary

    Andrew does not look at him. He turns around in a quick jerk of a motion, and pushes Kevin towards the bus. The other man is still as pale and trembling as he had been during Kathy's interview. He lets Andrew herd him like a sheep lost from the flock.
    "You looked after me and Aaron," Andrew says and the acknowledgement of all these years is enough to make Nicky speechless. "Now I need you to look after him."

    There is no 'please', no 'can you do this for me?'. nothing that remotely marks this as a question and not an order, but that is exactly what this is. Andrew Minyard is not a man who asks for anything, but he's asking for this.

    He's asking for help.

    Nicky turns and jogs to Neil's side, he has never been the type to tell him no.

    Summary

    It’s not fair. It’s all Neil can think, childish and foolish and true. It’s not fair. It’s not fair. It never has been. The tickets weigh as much as a coffin lid, as the lie that is Neil Josten. Kevin’s hand is still on top of his and his fingers tremble. Neil stares. It’s his left hand, a solid reminder of the bastion of cruelty these tickets are going to lead him to.
    “I’m sorry.” Kevin whispers.
    Neil barks a bitter laugh that ravages his throat and tucks the tickets into his pocket. “Yeah, me too.”

    Or:
    Nathaniel Wesninski dies in a basement in Baltimore. Neil Josten wakes up on the bleachers in Millport. One of them still has to get Jean out of the Nest.

    Summary

    Nathaniel is out of the nest, but at what cost?
    ***
    “You can only put him back together and hope for it to heal. That is all we can do.” Jean said, meeting Abby’s tearful eyes.

    Abby nodded, picking up her own thread and following Jean’s lead.

    Andrew dragged a chair from the corner of the room up to where Abram’s head was resting and tried not to watch. He didn’t succeed, but he could at least say he tried. As they threaded stitch after stitch through Abram’s skin, Andrew sat with his hands folded in his lap and followed Jean’s advice to breathe. Then, he began to plan.
