Maybe he doesn't think so, maybe he feels like it's the only thing he can do if he wants to protect people, either from himself or anyone else from his past, but this, this is something she knows a lot about. She was never as openly angry about things as Jenny had been, always found different ways to channel her rage, different ways to act out, learned to keep it quiet as she got older-- but it was still there. It probably always would be, no matter how much time had passed.
"If you care about someone, you don't leave. That's not doing anyone any favors. You don't leave your family, Hawley." Her father had left. Her mother had been taken from them. Nothing good ever came from people leaving. "Don't matter how much better you think it'll be. The only person who will feel better is you-- maybe not even that. What about the people you leave behind?"
