Was it my weakness that had driven my parents apart? I didn’t think I could handle that. So, I didn’t focus on finding the truth. I told myself I had a better approach, one that would reunite my family rather than just giving me potentially painful knowledge. I had to bring my brother back. He was the only one who could help mend our wounds.
this is the defining core of this character. on one hand, I am relieved to finally understand his motivation. however, I feel it would have been better to show me than tell me
