Comment on ChapterWet Sand - Chapter 83
TJ and Ian want the same thing (each other), with different manner of getting there. 
Ian has good points. It makes me sad to think that they missed a lot of their most transformative years as teenagers, where they would have learned to grow into the adult they would have been, instead running errands for the organization. TJ also has valid fears, because he mever got to grow into that adult he could have been, rather than a cog in the organization. 
Ian has the benefit of having had something else, the bikes, but TJ?
I think im getting in my head, its making me tear up thinking of little Ian and TJ

@GGs TJ had opportunities way before YW had that passion about bikes, whether it was having a decent life with his foster parents back when he met YW for the first time at 15. Or, becoming a pro MMA fighter to which he'd missed the opportunity cuz he chose saving YW instead at 18. Growing up, TJ was the one out of the two with so many potentials. Just like YW, he had traumatic past, TJ losing his entire family in a car accident. But he never allowed himself to go down the same path as YW( doing drugs) on the contrary, he was the one constantly pulling YW with all his might away from that path because he loves him. And he didn't wanna lose him, too. Of course, that lasted as long as DK entered the picture and had YW wrapped around his finger for drugs. Actually, the moment that TJ made the decision to– sacrifice his entire future & abandon the path he'd taken to become a pro athlete and join the gang to protect his beloved– that exact moment he'd made up his mind was shown, it was when he saw YW's naked, unconscious body on DK's bathroom floor. If u look at his eyes, you'd see it, he'd throw it all away if it means he'd become powerful enough to stand between the world and the love of his life. So, if u really think about it, TJ could've just turned his back on YW just like the rest, he'd have had a good clean life had he just walked away & left him to his abuser. & YW knows it very well. As for YW...well, he'd probably end up OD'ing on DK's bathroom floor after being🍇ed again & again for drugs. So really, without TJ's sacrifices– WITHOUT TJ..there would be no YW & therefore, there would be no Wet Sand.
