‘We are all implicated now,’ Ramy hissed. ‘We cleaned that room. We hid the body for you. To protect you. We’ve all lied a dozen times now; we are accessories in this crime, and if you go to the hangman, you doom us all. Do you understand?’ Chastened, he hung his head and nodded. ‘Good,’ said Ramy. ‘Now back to bed.’
I saw someone say that Robin is an unreliable narrator and exaggerates his relationship with his cohort because he craves family and connection. It is all I can think about as the three help him, but only do so because either way they would be implicated (barring Letty), and it's the only way to protect themselves..
I do agree that he is an unreliable narrator, which is what adds a lot of the tension to the story, as we're trapped by his experiences throughout the story, but I don't think he exaggerates their relationships any more than anyone else would. He is incapable of seeing all of the intricacies of all the dynamics between one another, but he is also moved and motivated by the real companionship that exists between them.
