I Wish I Could Do More For Him

Claire tried talking herself out of her guilt with every method possible. Just because she felt sorry for someone didn't meant she was responsible for them, did it? Although she technically was responsible for Ethan's situation because it had been her idea to get the younger Numbers out of headquarters…

"I'm a terrible person," she said aloud. 

Alex sat down next to her and patted her knee in an attempt to comfort her. "No you aren't. You don't have to sacrifice yourself to make everyone happy all the time."

She opened her eyes to give him a funny look. When had he learned that concept? She was fairly certain she hadn't taught it to him. He was right though. There was a whole 'self-care' movement on social media supporting this.
