Being out of control, having things happen to you, having things happen entirely without you doing anything. It sounds insane, but it's not something he'd been used to. And it's terrifying.
Plenty of other things have happened to him - and really, if he thought about it rationally for a single second, which he hasn't, Dhanneth very much took him by surprise, no matter how much Jedao blames himself for his suicide. But it feels true, at the moment. Because -
"He loved me back," Jedao croaks out, on an awful, wretched sob. "I know he did, I know it wasn't a lie this time. But I still wasn't enough."
This is- well, this makes a lot of things make more sense. He'll keep the pressure on Jedao, press a few kisses to his hair mostly to give him something else to focus on. Then-
"He did. He does, I'd bet. But his choice wasn't because you were... deficient." His voice goes softer. "There's no such thing as 'enough'."
He gives him another little squeeze, and he'll nod. Yes. It would be so much easier if there was a goal you could meet and that would mean that no one would ever leave again. He can't disagree with that.
