Quote #7
He was on the beach, somewhere among these hundreds of people. Images from the case files rose into his mind. (4.32.26)
As he delves deeper into the case, Nesterov's feelings of security are shattered. Now, whenever he closes his eyes, he sees his children being hunted by this seemingly unrepentant serial killer. How is he supposed to turn a blind eye with those images in his head? It's all well and good until it gets personal, right?
Quote #8
At the time he'd wondered why they couldn't see the futility of their actions. Now that he was in that same predicament he finally appreciated how they felt. (4.43.41)
Fear isn't a logical emotion—in fact, it's often the complete opposite. When we feel afraid, our fight-or-flight instinct kicks into full gear, overwhelming our rational faculties and often crippling us. And just think: Leo has put countless innocent people through this very experience. What did he really hope to get from that? Justice?
Quote #9
They were half-running, half-walking [...] their speed depended on whether fear or exhaustion had the upper hand. (4.50.1)
Fear can be a great motivator, but it's not going to get Leo and Raisa to the finish line. If they're going to make it through this ordeal in one piece, they're going to need to find something else to motivate them.
