The writing was amazing, the panels cinematic, the colors, the emotions, truly amazing.
The uneasy feeling started from the previous chapter, since we already knew what was happening to Brett and how Hayden was enjoying his days.
Is anyone wrong? In their own reality, none of them is. But I'm a bit surprised at people saying Hayden's reaction isn't supportive etc Hayden wants to support Brett, his first reaction was to hug him tightly, to listen. But he lost it when Brett started talking about the perjury, the hint at the murder, the very cold talk about the ongoing revenge (partly for Hayden, which Hayden doesn't want and kept repeating again and again he chose to be shot).
Although Hayden wants to support Brett, by his own means, wants to share the burden, should he validate his choices? Hayden has always hated his own violent side, he's even vegan (or vegetarian?), he's at the antipode of violence. I think it was Avery interesting moral clash between them and how hard it'll be to find a middle ground.
Many interesting moments in the chapter, the "go back to your cave" hinting that Hayden really did hurt Brett (hinting at the bonding chapter when Brett said if Hayden truly hurt him, he'd hide in his cave as a wounded animal), Brett tightly closing his fist while breaking things off with Hayden (compared to his chill body language at the beginning), Hayden first unleashing his phéromones and his spontaneous alpha side "I'd rather ..." But then his logic is back with the "normal" procédure, how Brett didn't even hear when Hayden said all he wants is for him to be safe ...and that last panel with Brett's expression ... Beautiful
I can't wait for season 3
