So I am a firm believer that Nicky has bad anxiety and depression just naturally and never got meds for it because his parents were very “why do you need meds? Just pray.”
And his bad days aren’t very noticeable unless you pay attention because his smile will be sort of smaller and he’ll hunch in on himself. He’ll eat a lot of bland foods (specifically scrambled eggs) and he has this one hoodie from Germany that he’ll wear. And slowly the twins become more aware of these signs and they’ll hold off on their comments and speak a little more because Nicky needs to have things said to him (he doesn’t understand subtext) and they don’t want to stress him out more.
I think there’s something truly poetic about Neil’s original position being a backliner, a defensive position, and then him switching to a striker, an offensive position. IE. him being in the run his entire life and hiding, to staying in one place and fighting for his life.
The millport exy team: yeah, this game was amazing. Did you hear Sophie cheated on Bryan? I know what a bitch.
Neil: I wonder how long it’ll be till my father kills me.
Someone: Neil is the only person who stayed with Andrew without expecting anything in return.
Nicky: SO I DONT EXIST.
No but seriously, Nicky did stay with the twins without wanting anything. In fact he gave up his life to be with them. Nicky may have pushed boundaries, and that wasn’t okay, but it wasn’t cause he expected to be hugged back. It was because that’s what he would have wanted, he didn’t understand Andrew at the time. we need to remember the book was told from Neil’s POV, he was able to understand Andrew in a way, but Andrew is actually a really complicated person that didn’t give himself away to people. Nicky not understanding him, is a pretty understandable thing.
I like to think that Renee and Andrew are the exact same height, but Renee just gives off such powerful energy, that everyone is convinced she’s actually 6’5.
