Ezra panted heavily and grasped Jonathan's hand in joy. This time, he was determined not to let go.

As they walked through the night, he noticed Jonathan seemed getting tired. Jonathan's steps slowed significantly, so he could easily follow. They ran into the Young siblings not long after. From that day on, he always followed Jonathan around. Although Jonathan remained aloof, rarely spoke, and never smiled, he could sense Jonathan's protection and love for him.

He heeded Jonathan's advice and avoided the Finches. But when Lizzie offered him the chance to visit Nancy, he went with her. He missed Nancy dearly.

He could sense Jonathan's worry for Nancy from the fact that Jonathan often called out "Mom" in his sleep. It suggested that Jonathan was probably dreaming of her.

Ezra told Jonathan that Nancy had often cried over his photo after leaving the Finch family, and Jonathan would always respond with a scornful smile, not believing his words.

He wanted to tell Nancy that Jonathan missed her too. He wished Nancy could express her love for Jonathan directly, but she never got the chance.

As he rushed to see Nancy for the last time, he saw her lying in a pool of blood with a long gash on her wrist and blood continuously flowing from it.

He stood frozen as if his soul had left him. He had heard Nancy call him "Ezzy" in a voice filled with remorse.

"Ezzy... Ezzy..." Her voice grew fainter until it faded away and left only the smell of blood in the air. The air came to an eerie still.

He called out "Mom" but was responded with a thunderclap. His mind buzzed, and he knew nothing about what happened next.

When he woke up, he was in the Finch Manor. They told him Nancy was dead and Jonathan had carried him back to the Finch Manor in the rain. From that day onward, he didn't see Jonathan for a long time. Every night, he dreamed of Nancy in a pool of blood, calling out "Ezzy" several times over.
