I will forever love this quote because this is Andrew literally insulting and validating Neil in the same breath.

He’s mocking Neil for being a liar (which isn’t Neil’s fault, growing up the way he did; lying is his survival tactic.) Yet look at the way Andrew phrased that statement: “Sunrise, Abram, death.” Andrew wasn’t patronizing Neil. He was listing truths. And “Abram” was truth.

Abram, who was “shielded and untouched by his father’s bloody business.“ Abram, who played Exy and was allowed to live his life the way he wanted. Abram, who wasn’t a lie, but the truest thing Neil ever was.

Andrew was calling Neil out for lying, but he called him Abram. He called him truth.

“Irrefutable and untainted.” That was Abram to Andrew. And whether he realized it or not, Andrew was validating Neil’s very existence.
