Summary
'Don’t look back.’ Nate had spun Jean around and given a firm push between his shoulder blades. ‘I’m right behind you. It’d be suspicious if we both left at the same time. Just go. Now, before he comes back and this’ll all have been for nothing. Trust me, okay?’
Jean had trusted him, then.
Now, he hated Nathaniel for making him believe the words, for knowing Jean would follow his advice to a fault and be reassured by the blind fucking faith he’d had in his partner. For knowing him so damn well that asking for Jean’s trust was all it took to convince him to leave Nate behind.Kevin and Jean escape the Nest; Nathaniel doesn't, and Jean can't accept that. When his Trojan teammates make critical comments about Nathaniel's playing style while watching a Raven match, Jean doesn't know how to defend him. He is again confronted with how he let Nathaniel down and continues to do so.
Jean thinks back to the day he left the Nest—and left his partner behind.
