I thought I disliked Hank after the last chapter, after this one though I can't help but think the worst of him. I'm of similiar mind to Danners concerning he and Kevin. In the course of comforting him did he and Hank share their own misguided moment? Is that why Kevin was scarcely seen recently by the group of friends? Now on the rebound is Hank open to being comforted in turn and acting on things he otherwise would not?
I'm proud of Chase and where he is. He still needs to work through some guilt but he still has some friends and his family.
