He starts the Secret History- children telling awful lies, buying themselves trouble, learning to only just see beyond the bridges of their own noses. It's not a very comforting book at all but he reads it tenderly and with such empathy and affection that it becomes a window into what he was like at that age.

He's too wrung out to really follow Quentin from one paragraph to another, but the tenderness in his voice is a balm, and Jedao has just enough presence of mind to make sure he reads it for himself with more attention later.

He doesn't quite sleep - he has to be ready, if Nico stirs, to remind and reassure him. But the drowsing does him some good.
