Justin has had it. This "thing" (whatever it is) with Brian isn't working out. He needs more than sex and a rare unguarded smile. He needs unambiguous love and a sense of safety; after all his life's been turned upside-down by violence. Brian seems determined to snatch back even the smallest gifts just minutes after he gives them. The straws keep piling up and up . . . and then along comes Ethan Gold. Talented, romantic and unashamed of his feelings.
Brian has his heart broken, which would be good for him and his self-development if it wasn't killing him. He isn't angry; he even tries to convince himself he's relieved, and, as usual, everyone buys it. Even Justin. Talk about being one's own worst enemy.
