[He doesn't say that faith in Gansey is the one thing all of them have in spades. Even when he doesn't know what he's doing, even when he does stupid things or pisses Adam off. Being perfect and all-knowing is not a requirement for Adam's faith. It never has been.]

It wasn't Blue's fault. She had every right to make her own choice, and I - that wasn't a great time for me.

[He'd only just left home, and he'd thought he was going insane. It had strained his friendship with Gansey nearly to the breaking point, too. Can he really blame Blue, when all she did was look at him and see what was there, instead of what she'd imagined was there?

In the end, it was only a reminder of what he is. Not enough, in anyone's eyes, even his own. Especially his own. What Ronan sees - Adam doesn't know. It's not Blue's fault that Adam has always been told he's worthless, nothing. It's not her fault that part of him believes that, no matter how he fights to be more. It's definitely not her fault that every rejection drills that into him more. He knows that, he just - can't overcome it. He doesn't know how.]

But, I mean. She wasn't wrong. That's all still me, and Ronan deserves a lot more.
