[Ronan doesn't quite get it- Adam seems alright, he says that the other creature didn't hurt him, so why kill it? The explanation makes a certain amount of sense, and makes Ronan feel guilty in the same vein. If Adam did kill the double in order to prevent it from tricking him, what does that say about him? That he can't tell the difference between his boyfriend and an impostor?
He frowns, sitting up fully and shakily moving to stand. He can't deny that a tiny part of him is shaken by Adam's actions, the cold brutality of it, but- he trusts Adam's judgement. He even told the creature earlier of the extent of that trust, and while he knows that Gansey or Noah might have been horrified, he needs to accept it.]
Yeah. [He manages to get out, his gaze still on the dead Adam's torn-open chest. How many times has he seen something like that in a dream?]
Guess we have to figure out what to do with it now.
[Ronan's foot brushes against the dead thing's own, nudging at it as he references it. He's not sure what the appropriate thing to do would be- bury it? Throw it into the lake? He'd dream up a coffin for it, but he thinks that Adam might feel even worse if he insisted on treating it like something worth mourning.
It is. But he doesn't know how to balance the creature's own humanity with Adam's cold view of it.]
