[peter looks up to meet isaac's eyes and it takes everything he has in him not to bolt. it's as bad as roman. it's worse than roman, in a way.
and then he's angry, because what do we do?, as though peter hasn't done anything, as though it wasn't peter who had talked to jesse and found out the truth and peter who had told that truth to tempest, as if it wasn't peter who got these balls rolling while other people were screaming uselessly at each other on the network.
as though it's peter's responsibility to fix all of these problems that are so far beyond him it isn't even funny.
isaac's eyes are huge and blue and fragile and full of belief, and peter feels the chain tighten around his neck.]
Right now, we wait and see where the ball stops rolling from the shitstirring that woman did and what I did earlier. If people are out for Jesse's head, we don't need to get underfoot of a lynch mob. If nothing happens, then we'll figure out what needs to be done in a way that isn't going to have either of us ending up like Tempest.
