Gary's POV
I was starting to get used to the looks I was getting from everyone… I wasn't even caring about them either. My mind travelled at a different speed than everything around me. Apparitions of my brother haunted my mind. At some point, they seemed real in front of me. We went to Dwarvenhall and the whole time I was only seeing things that my brother would have been doing. It had come to my attention that Jacob was similar to my brother when it came to caring about others.
When he started taking care of Dwarvenhall, it became clear to me why Kevin had commanded his absence. More points for the empath who had somehow figured out that Jacob was doing something very tasking. The boy was exhausted when we met him… It was clear that he was undertaking a lot even though he hid his tired state from the rest of us.
