[Andros' mind finally leapt to a few burgeoning possibilities, implied by Javert, and none of them were good. Unfortunately for Javert, Andros? Didn't give a crap right now if you were having a problem.

And really? His life only got worse. Add to the trauma was his brainwashed and tortured sister and, well, Andros' was absolutely the last person you wanted to ask for mental health advice.

So Andros? Andros was the kind of guy that went he hit rock bottom? He was going to take everyone else with him.]
