But it doesn't. Maybe he should be grateful that Wolfwood is holding out, trying to protect him, but that ever present frustration only grows. Anxiety coils within his gut, a thousand different futures unfolding. One where Wolfwood dies. Where Nai dies. Where he fails to help Jeneora Rock.

Please, Nick... If something happened, I should know. We have time to fix it, right? Together!
