Summary
"Jonathan wonders, seeing Teddy so out of his element and so lost, if it wouldn’t have been kinder to leave him behind after all. Let him find his own way to survive, in his own environment. Kinder, perhaps, yes. But the pitter-patter of his heart and the way it stumbles over itself every time Teddy so much as offers a hint of a smile tells him that in the event of this scenario, where both their worlds collapsed and they failed, he was incapable of leaving him behind. The miracle of Teddy being alive and here, with him, is a selfish thing to celebrate, but Jonathan can’t bring himself to feel sorry about it."
