[Declan+Adam]
In the interest of the truth, let's be frank, Parrish. Ronan did something that he shouldn't have, despite constant reminders to be careful. He knows who is here and who depends on him, and yet he went out of his way, as always, to prove himself to who? Me? You? The Man? And now he's suffering the consequences.
Your defense of him is admirable, but don't ignore the facts. He fucked up because he couldn't keep his mouth shut or be aware of his surroundings. I may not have "power" here, or whatever you subscribe to a person as having power, but I've spent more time cleaning up Ronan's messes than years you have known him. There are things I can do that you can't, based on experience, not environment.
