“Good-bye,” I say to him, and I mean it.
For this book (for the whole series, really) I researched the psychology of survivors of child abuse. One thing that came up a few times in my research was the idea of confronting the abuser or getting revenge or having some kind of cathartic resolution—and what people said, more than once, is that those things are just illusions, that there is no satisfying resolution other than walking away and leaving that person behind you. That’s why Tobias does this, and why we don’t hear much about Marcus again.
