NATE
It's a very fine line Nate is walking, holding all of his emotions in a tightly clenched fist on one side, and dipping into trust, vulnerability on the other. It's a clusterfuck, to be honest, but he's putting some effort in at least. Some. Blue eyes flutter closed as a gentle hand comes down, the soothing touch he'd been offering earlier reciprocated now. Nate shakes his head at the apology though, not quite willing to open his eyes again yet.
"I... we... we were fuck ups, right? But he was the only real family I had. And... it sounds so fucking stupid now." Nate scoffs, opening his eyes just so he can roll them towards the ceiling. "I thought, if no one else could figure out what was wrong, or do anything, maybe I could. I worked my ass off, I made a lot of shitty deals and got in a lot of debts, and I fucking... I did something. I got into a medical program." Finally, the blue drops back down to search Sunjata's face, a twist on his face that was bitter and upset and resigned to something he couldn't change. "I was really, really close to finishing my program. I would have been able to... do something. Something."
Nate is still again, though the look on his face hasn't shifted, seems to have only grown more exaggerated. "Whatever he had fucked up his immune system, and he caught a cold. That's it. That's all it took to..." Nate flicks his hand out, gesturing for something he couldn't say, then sighs.
