*Rajiv stares as the bastard leads his sister away. The anger feels like it's compacting inside him, but still somehow growing out of control. Clutching his chest, all Rajiv can think of is his sister shutting down. Shutting down like she did the night he left home.

There is no rationality in this moment for him, as he blames all of it on Evan fucking Rosier. None of this stupid, horrible business would have happened if it wasn't for him. Maybe one day he will look back and see his own part in it, but for now, there is only Rosier.

He looks around the party, wanting to discuss this further with his parents. But instead he finds Jyoti, who is wearing a face he only sees when someone has called her a paki.

That is it.*
