Summary
The burden of responsibility is heavy, self control is heavier. What once was easy grows difficult as repression fights for the energy Neuvillette relegates towards his duty. An exhausted Iudex is not just difficult, it is dangerous. Wriothesley doesn’t have the time to be insecure about whether he has the right to help Neuvillette, he’s simply the only one who can. For the sake of Fontaine, Wriothesley tries to prove himself capable of sharing the burden with Neuvillette.
Or: Neuvillette is afraid of breaking Wriothesley with the burden of his repressed desire and Wriothesley, afraid of not being good enough for Neuvillette, learns how to be capable regardless.
Neuvillette’s appetite is large, he is not human, the things he wants are destructive for a man. The energy, attention, time and effort it takes to satisfy him is not something a man can bear. No, he knows how this will go, and he refuses to make a man feel inadequate for their failure. This is not the first human who has tried to save Neuvillette, and it will not be the last. Which is why Neuvillette must protect them from himself. That is his responsibility. This is justice.
