Adam tried to kill a man? The horror must show on my face. Because Adam flinches like I slapped him. His eyes close in pain. I grip his hand, willing him not to close down. When Adam opens his eyes again I’m giving him the full force of my feeling, channelling my acceptance of him. ‘Tell me what happened,’ I say gently. There’s a long pause. Then his voice comes again, barely a whisper. ‘After Michael died,’ he says slowly, ‘I was mad with rage. Mad at everything. He died so young. And I felt like someone was to blame.’ His eyes open, and there’s that sad little smile on his lips again. ‘I decided to blame the people who recruited Michael,’ Adam says, his voice coming steadily, in a dead kind of tone. ‘To me, it was their fault. If they hadn’t signed up my brother, he never would have died.’ I nod slightly.
