This world...it doesn't follow the right rules, it has a new set of logic and laws for how things work. I don't think Percy's mind could handle it, he got upset over fairy tales and how 'wrong' they are. I'm really not sure if he'd be able to grasp that two opposing sets of natural laws could exist at the same time.
[Much as he feels Percy deserves a true escape and chance at happiness far more than him, Abraxas would not be that for the other Hastings boy. It isn't as though how his mind works would change as an adult. The doctors had been very firm on that.
No, far better than he simply lived (lives?) out his life in somewhere like Russia or Germany, a nice orderly country where the rules work how he expects them to.
But he knows Claire was being kind. He understands the sentiment. In most circumstances, he'd agree. Of course he wants to see Percy again. He wants to know he's okay, and to apologize....
But one of those things, he's come to realize, is much more important than the other.]
I'd rather he be alright than see him again, if that's the choice.
