Like you leave the movie being like, huh that kinda sucked that she sent him into space against his will but it all worked out in the end 😊

After you finish reading that part in the book, it’s like getting hit squarely in the stomach but you could see it coming and there was nothing you could do to stop it. You just have to sit there as Grace begs for his life and Eva, like she had done with every other tough decision throughout the book (🐫,❄️,🏴‍☠️), she treats him this reluctant indifference. And it hurts her. It’s the reason why she needed to see him one last time to try and explain to him why she’s doing what she’s done even tho they were wipe his mind.

(You cannot feel pain until you meet/touch your soulmate. // You will receive the same injuries as your soulmate (unless deadly))

Nathaniel didn’t mind living at the Nest. He didn’t.

Sure, Riko always made it clear he was the lowest rung on the ladder. That his job, for the rest of his life, was to be behind him and Kevin but it could be worse.

He could be his father.

He could be his mother…

So yeah, he didn’t mind the nest. That was, until he met him

‘This will be Nathaniel’s partner, and your number four.’

He still remembered the Master’s voice. Still remembered how the other boy's eyes never left the ground.

‘Do you have a name?’ He’d asked, but got no response. He remembered the annoyed look he’d given 1 and 2.

‘Come on, the USC’s game is starting.’ Kevin rolled his eyes, but the other boy made no effort to move. ‘Ugh, drag him if you have to.’ And so Nathaniel moved to do just that.

All it took was a hand to a wrist and then a spark.

A flame.

Two twin cries.

Nathaniel knew what it was in an instant. A little over a dozen years of pain coursed through his body at once, causing him to crumble to the floor. From the iron hitting his chest to all of Lola’s “lessons.” His brain spun violently as every slap, punch, and check from fully grown Ravens came at him in full force. He started to vomit.

He is standing in the corner of his childhood basement, watching his father work. It was one of the handful of days his father had tried to teach his son.

‘If you ever have the choice, always choose someone who’s already met their soulmate. Otherwise, there’s no point in doing anything. Well, I guess it’s interesting to watch the life drain from their eyes slowly once or twice. But junior, you have to understand that it gets boring fast. They just don’t react that much. Soulmated people, ha, now they’re fun. I’ll have to bring you down again when I have a couple, you’ll love it.’

He hadn’t “loved it” but he would be lying if he said he wasn’t at least a little interested in how stabbing one person made the other scream.

He is sitting on his childhood bed getting stitched up by his mother, shrugging off the wound as “being fine” and “not actively bleeding out”

‘You might not feel it now, Abram, but one day, you will meet your other half, it will hit you at once. You don’t understand pain yet, so you don’t know why you should avoid it, but when that day comes, you will regret being careless.’

Like most things Mary had taught him, she’d really buried the lead on this one.

Once he’d fully emptied his stomach and finally stopped gagging, he looked up to see Riko waving a water bottle in front of his face. The older boy’s eyes were wide with the same interest he had seen in his father.

Nathaniel's throat burned, but his eyes felt off, too, even though he hadn’t even cried. He looked over to the French boy, who was sobbing. One touch, and forever they would be experiencing every sensation together. Riko would have fun with this.

He grabbed the water bottle and sculled it. Sure, before meeting Jean Moreau, he could say he even enjoyed living at the Nest.
