"We lied to each other," he says - both to Jay and to Clem, though his gaze remains more or less fixed on the shroud of white veiling his expression from view. It's Jay as he only had the misfortune to encounter once in his life, and that was more than enough. It hadn't really been Jay then, he knows now - he knows now, even if he didn't then.

Something that turned him from apologetic to violent. That contorted him into someone who lashed out blindly and brazenly, uncaring as to the consequences to himself.

"Constantly, Jay. I was just trying to get through all of this, the same as you. I didn't know what the hell I was doing. None of us did."

They were stupid.

They were stupid amateurs, and they all paid for it.
