N Sewell's Big Secret - A Theory

So, I've been replaying N's route lately and an epiphany came to me last night when I was playing the end of Book 3.

It's in Book 2 I believe that you can ask Nate if he's ever killed someone while talking to him about how old he is. He frowns for a minute and says, "Not with my own hands, no."

Weird, right? After what we see in the mirror at the carnival, when he says he got turned at sea, it's clear that the image in the mirror was of that time right after he got turned. He's covered in blood, surrounded by bodies while wearing a British Royal Navy uniform.

Originally, since Falk declared N Not Guilty, I assumed that perhaps N had come to terms with the reaction they had to being a newly turned vampire. I thought maybe they'd lost control and slaughtered the men of the ship, or perhaps they'd been attacked and defended themself. A sort of Jekyll + Hyde situation where N doesn't consider their frenzied state to be truly Them.

BOOK 3 SPOILERS AHEAD

And then we get into Book 3, and it's really clear that N has not been to therapy enough to not blame themself if they'd killed that many people. They're overprotective and selfless to the point of self sacrifice for the slightest inconvenience and they blame themself for any little inconvenience that befalls MC. Clearly, they are not well-adjusted enough to separate something that happened in desperation and fear from who they truly are.

This put me on the back foot, trying to figure out what that could mean. If you are dating N, they tell you about their brother, M*lton, who was killed by vampires. They tell you about joining the Navy to seek revenge or to at least find out what happened to their brother. Makes sense.

The moment that made my theory CLICK in my head happens at the end of the book, if you ignore Rebecca's idea and go alone to the auction.

So, you get captured and the auctioneer person tries to sell you off for your blood. Just like the other 3 routes, N will come to rescue you at the auction, and they have a brief spat with someone in the audience who tries to outbid them.

[ID included on screenshot.]

This moment I originally thought was a pheromone thing. It doesn't seem like just a threat, as Nate seems visibly shaken and weakened by whatever it is he did. Also, the strange way the supernatural responds seems to suggest some kind of influence.

And then it hit me --- "Not with my own hands, no."

N's power is some kind of mind control / suggestion ability.

They never killed anyone with their own hands because they told the pirates / vampires to kill each other or kill themselves.

The theme of control comes up several times in N's route. N prides themself on being very in control of their body and their emotions, keeps their wants hidden and their true feelings locked firmly away beyond anything that is pleasant or kind. It makes me wonder if, aside from being able to influence people on command, if they can accidentally influence people when they get too emotional.

I also think it might require touch to really make the power work. They constantly keep their hands in their pockets and, while this is a normal enough idle motion, the fact that they touched the supernatural here and often put their hands in their pockets / withdraw touch when having a disagreement with someone suggests it might have something to do with it.

The amount of trust that UB must have in N when they have a power like that is enormous. It also sheds new light on the arguments that N and A often get into, as it seems that if N really wanted to, they could get their way every time via this weird power.

It also sheds new light on Rebecca's concern for N and MC. The assumption that MC is immune to this ability is there, but there's always the chance that they aren't, and Rebecca being worried about N forcing MC into doing things via suggestion seems to be very real.

It also makes me wonder if N has ever tested out whether their suggestion works on MC, or if they've thought about it with something small. Makes me wonder if we are entirely immune or if there's going to be some caveat like with M and their pheromones causing MC pain.

EITHER WAY, I feel like I figured it out. I'm losing my mind with the implications of it all.

There's another thing that I can't stop thinking about: the concerns N mentions in their last POV scene when talking with MC's BFF. With each vampire, they bring up a different fear and I find this so interesting! It's making me wonder whether all of them are stemming from the same fact/event in their past or there's more to uncover here (yes I'm clearly betting on the latter 👀)

...and I'm once again wondering if this goes similarly on the other RO routes? Depending on who MC's BFF is, do they worry about different things in their last PoV? Or is it only N?

I'll include the screenshots soon but in summary, N mentions 3 concerns:

1. Not going to be right for MC

2. Becoming the villain in the detective's story

3. Not going to be enough for MC

Now, are these even different worries or am I just overthinking and they are all referring to the same thing? As in, N thinks they could become the villain of MC's story because of what they have done in their past and the potential of losing control and hurting MC again. Which also means that they are afraid they aren't right for MC because they could be dangerous for the detective. And they aren't enough because who would want to spend their life with someone who has done such terrible things in their past.

It may just be me but I don't find this explanation satisfactory enough, their concerns seem to be more complex to me. Their past deeds (#theMassacreOnTheBoat) definitely always come into play but N has a lot of other worries besides that.

They are just so complex and so broken behind that carefully crafted façade! They harbour so much pain and self-loathing!

I think this also has to do with their conflicting feelings about their own vampirism and longing for humanity. They don't think they are good enough for MC, likely having trouble reconciling their immortality and the morality of being a vampire and everything they have done in their past... They miss humanity and maybe they are also afraid they cannot provide MC with the security they need and the happy life they want to give them and it's breaking my heart💔

Especially since to MC, they are everything they could wish for and more. There are many times MC is wondering how someone so perfect could be real...aaaand one of my favourite lines is MC thinking of N as their haven🥺

Anyway, it's time to cut my ramblings short and show the scenes I'm talking about. I loved every dialogue (my canon BFF route is Mason) but I must say, Felix' conversation feels like the most heartbreaking one for me, he truly hit bull's-eye there.

Mason

Adam

Felix

I have so many feels and thoughts on this topic but my post is long enough as is.

As always, any inputs you have are welcome!

Lover's eye

You know those fancy little painted eye lockets from Victorian England? I feel like N would totally give the detective one of those.

To celebrate Wayhaven Book 3 coming out in 2 weeks, I wanted to draw our beloved Unit Bravo. I don’t know how to feel about the outcome tbh, but it was definitely fun! I hope I did these lovelies justice 💖

Fuck it, here are some Jellycat plushies I would buy for Unit Bravo

Felix/Farah

F would honestly be delighted by any and all plushies imo, and so it was hard to pick just a few. But these ones were bright and colorful and unexpected (except the unicorn) and I think they would love them.

Nate/Nat

The blueberry one because it’s, so cute, and I apparently won’t forget the bakery scene with the crossword ever.

Mason/Morgan

Sunshine, obviously. And also they can be a little crabby (har har) they would probably appreciate that one much less.

Adam/Ava

A lil plant that they can’t break! And they’re a little prickly, but we love them anyway.

Thinking about the RO ordering the detective’s “usual” long after the detective has passed away and just solemnly sitting at a table with the drink and the detective’s picture with the RO from the carnival just to feel like the detective is still there with them

The detective should have tattoos so that N can trace them very lightly with the tips of their fingers in adoration

I love Nate but the amount of secrecy and like the avoidance of telling the detective things makes it hard to really feel like the partnership is equal.

In particular there’s a really poignant moment if you have had Verda figure things out where Nate seems really uncomfortable with the idea of seeing Verda, but the second you are like “that’s okay if you don’t want to go I don’t want you to be uncomfortable” it’s like a switch is flipped and he’s like “no I want you to be happy I’m happy to go with you I’m excited actually”

It makes me sad. I dunno how we’re supposed to have a relationship when N keeps so much of themself hidden and smothered below that people pleaser facade of theirs

A, N, M and F as twilight quotes:

M: “And so the lion fell in love with the lamb”

N: “What if I’m not a superhero? What if I’m the bad guy?”

A: “Would you stop trying to take your clothes off?”

F: “Detective! Where the hell have you been loca?!”
