Peter knew that it wasn't, knew that it mattered to him just like it always had, but it was making his insides crawl, like his internal organs were trying to vacate and hide in the back of his skull, crowding out all the room until there was nothing left but a dull thudding of pain. It didn't make sense. None of it made sense, and Nathan could go on about ice skating until the cows came home, but it wouldn't change a thing. It wouldn't.

It didn't set it spinning in just the right motion and Adam had at least proved one thing -- he needed to stop relying on other people. Even the ones who he thought mattered the most. ]
