The look he gives Adam could most accurately be described as measuring. He knows that Adam doesn't have the same aversion to lying as he does, but what reason would there be to lie about causing Gansey's death? It clearly weighs heavily on him and he's obviously devoted to stopping it, but how will they know what it is that kills him?
Ronan's belief was unshakable minutes ago, when Gansey was yelling what if, it was unshakable months ago, when he'd first vowed to protect him, but now- now he can feel it wavering. If it happens (it won't happen, it can't happen, they'll stop it-) then it will be Adam's fault. Blue's family already predicted it, Adam saw it in the tree, everything seems to be lining up to one horrific solution.
How do they save Gansey when they don't know how he'll die? How will Adam know what to do? What would it take to protect- fuck- to protect Gansey from Adam?
"I know you wouldn't."
His words are hollow, distracted in the light of this new information. He presses his lips tight together, tries not to think about the obvious question, tries not to give it a moment, tries to put his mind on anything but that- but what if-
What if there was only one way to save Gansey? What would he do if death was the inevitable conclusion, if it came down between the person he was devoted to or the person he-
"How... " his voice cracks and Ronan almost winces at the sound. He swallows past the dryness in his throat and tries again. "-how did it happen? In your vision."
