Its bleak, but I rhink in a way the pain has to eventually give way to a decision Nathan has taken, even if he won't admit it! For the first time, the battle is with himsel, uncertainty will heavy on the future, not with Lucas but himseld...
You see it clearly, Tristan. That's exactly the shift I was reaching for — the enemy was never Lucas, never Frank, never even George. It was always going to be the mirror. And the cruelest thing about a battle with yourself is that you can't walk away from it. You can't outrun it. You can only stand inside it until you decide whether to let it consume you or let it change you.
What Nathan decides — and whether he can admit it to himself before it's too late — that's the question the next chapters will have to answer.
Your reads always push me to think deeper about what I've written. Grateful for that.
