It was truly heartbreaking.
Besides the relationship clash, the moral clash was even more powerful. Hayden is idealistic, he's even vegetarian. How would he feel when his partner's talking about murdering people, continuing a vendetta which exposes him to even more danger.
I think Hayden wants to support him, talk to him, discuss all it happened (even if he's feeling deeply hurt by being discarded as stupid or naive) but how can one validate Brett's choice when the only thing Hayden wants is for Brett being safe (Hayden's almost begging for it)
Finally the season finale was translated lol. Honestly I understood everything brett said, and I kinda lean onto his side more here. I do get Hayden’s frustrations of course, since he genuinely cares for Brett and wants to be the one Brett opens up to. But Hayden obviously couldn’t control himself. In a way, I think brett’s way of seeking comfort from Hayden was precisely wanting to continue going on those dates with him. That’s likely what he thought he needed and wanted during all this chaos. He saw Hayden as the one that could make him feel happy and comforted. But Hayden took that the wrong way, thinking Brett was just saying that to avoid the topic.
Brett WAS on point that he knew Hayden was not gonna be happy hearing all the answers, yet Hayden still pushed for them and got upset. Brett’s also correct that Hayden can’t actually do anything for him in this case. Hayden has no power, no influence, not enough wealth, and no connections. Brett has everything handled already. All Brett wanted Hayden to do was be his safe place that stuck by his side during this time.
It is pretty sad with the bird scene showing the symbolism of what happened with his brother and how it’s connected here. How Brett gives what he thinks would make the other happy but the other is just terrified at his affectionate gesture. Brett knows and reaffirms that he can’t match what Hayden wants in a relationship.
