Matthew, but it was mixed now with worry. "Did you move out of your parents' house, Math?"
Matthew looked up,

“They spread themselves over the brown plush seats—all except Anna, who remained standing. Matthew had slumped into a seat by the window. James eyed him; there was always love in the way he looked at Matthew, but it was mixed now with worry. "Did you move out of your parents' house, Math?"
James is getting more worriedddd but that stupid ass braclet is ruining everything

“I can't—I need you with me. I need you with me, James." Thomas had lost one sister already that year, in the Mandikhor attacks. No wonder he looked so sick with terror. James went to put an arm around him as Cordelia turned to Risa.”
Oh Tom🥺

James being “quiet” after family dinner with the Carstairs because he first gained new insight with her situation on her father, second insight on Alastair and third is kind of thinking about Matthew and getting more worried about out him.😭

Oh Matthew he makes me so sad

He had smiled at her, then stumbled and nearly knocked over Percival, Anna's stuffed snake. He was obviously drunk, and Lucie preferred her own company to that of an inebriated Matthew, which hurt her heart and made her want to shake him and ask him why he couldn't treat himself better. Why he couldn't see himself the way her brother saw him. Why he was so determined to harm himself and harm James in the process.

As he set out for home, he thought of the inscription on the barrel of the gun—LUKE 12:49. He knew the Biblical verse; any Shadowhunter would.
I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled

"Maybe only you can fire it," Christopher said, after thumping Thomas on the back until he could breathe again. "Because of your— your lineage. Interesting."

the inscription LUKE 12:49.
"Where did you get that thing, anyway?" said Thomas. It’s from America," Christopher said, looking discouraged by the failure of his experiment. "Henry acquired it years ago. It's a Colt Single Action Army revolver. Mundanes call it a 'Peacemaker."
Gun that maybe Kit gets (what Cassie was hinting at in an insta post somewhere👀)
If he gets James Gun in wicked powers I will scream
