He had been a sidekick, a foil. Whether he had helped or not, Crow had delivered the kill, and that was bad enough for him.
He stared at his shaking hands, felt the blood rushing in his ears. Surely his parents could see him right now. Surely all of them were disappointed. Surely all of them had expected better.
He groaned, burying his face in his hands. Maybe he shouldn't even bother returning home--as if Papa Mitya would really miss a failure like him. He was the second best assassin in the world, but second-best wasn't worth shit.
