“nick doesn’t ask or beg charlie not to self-harm, he frames it as wanting to support charlie through his feelings instead. charlie again tries to obfuscate but with more shattering honesty. he doesn’t want to burden nick with his pain, nor does he want pity or to be fixed.
the irony of that sentiment is devastating when you consider charlie’s goal this season was to ‘fix’ nick’s coming out process. it’s a self-loathing symptom of charlie’s bullying manifesting in real time.”
