assorted sketches (personally very obsessed w petermj rn and the fact that the 2020 run of noir colored his hair/eyes as black/grey. peter parker the man that you are....)
Andrew doesn't trust Neil once Neil is back from Baltimore. How can he?
The guy lied to his face time and time again, even when accepting to say the truth.
And Andrew only finds out once all the lies Neil had kept came back to bite him in his ass.
After all the trust Andrew had given him with HIS OWN PERSONAL TRUTHS, Neil goes and breaks his trust over and over and over again.
How can Andrew trust him at first? How can Andrew not feel betrayed by that?
Just imagining Andrew discovering the first parts of Neil's lies (through another person, mind you) must have been like a punch in the guts.
Yet Andrew moves on quickly enough from the pain because there's a bigger issue and it's that Neil is missing and he's in danger and Andrew is once again not keeping his part of the promise even if it technically doesn't stand anymore. And he has priorities.
Sure enough, his priorities have nothing to do with how much he himself is hurting.
