I haven't gotten to my reread yet, But I'm listening to the music and I was thinking, did Grace ever tell Rocky he never volunteered? I think it goes from him remembering to them separating in the movie, but he never tells him as far as I can recall in the book either. Maybe later on Erid he would tell him, or is it something he keeps to himself?
I've been meaning to look this up myself.
I think in the book Rocky interrupts him with some encouraging words about solving the problem together. And I think we just get a brief moment of him slumped against the wall, head in hands, in the film.
I would love to know if he did say anything. It would eat away at him every time someone called him brave, I think.
It's even worse because it comes after he talks to Rocky about being good people. Surely you'd never say it after that conversation.
