[ It absolutely is a gross feeling to share, and Ezell has gone very quickly from soft patience to stern judgement. Is he mad at Ain? Yes. Does he want to rectify this? Yes. Does he want to push him away, though? Not… really. It would be unfair to treat him with such disdain after trying to be so empathetic to his plights. Besides, it’s not like completely unhinged freaks don’t exist at Rhodes Island. Getting bit isn’t the worst thing that’s happened to him.

It does sting, though. He hisses a little as pressure is applied. How does he address this? It’s not like he can scold Ain like he’s some kind of dog. But it also came out of nowhere??? Does Ain truly think any of that was okay? He doesn’t understand, for once. ]

I don’t want to leave you here by yourself, but I’m seconds from walking away if you don’t tell me why you did that.
