Adam finally lifted his head. “Then you better cover my eyes.” Gansey looked puzzled. “What?” “Because,” Adam said bitterly, “otherwise they’ll betray you.”
all adam cares about is his autonomy. it only took me three rereads of this series to understand that was adam’s sacrifice. the fact that the demon took his hands and will take his eyes (taking advantage of his sacrifice). he was always afraid of SOMEONE taking his autonomy (gansey, his dad) and his growth as a person is tied into realizing accepting help as a product of love isn’t taking away his autonomy. although right after he realizes that his will is taken from him.
