   Summary

   Robert is Robert, and he did so much damage. He lied and plotted and caused so much suffering. And Aaron is still hurt, the pain from when Robert cut him off imprinted in his bones, lingering bitterly on the tip of his tongue.

   But Robert did so much good, too. He gave him so much happiness. It’s hard to be around him, but it’s not fair to treat him the way they all have been, and Aaron feels ashamed, his skin prickling with guilt.
