Andrew Minyard

||Neil's meeting with his father went much worse than it might have seemed at first, but fortunately, he was saved.||

Neil got away with a couple of broken bones, numerous scars, and other wonderful things that Nathan and Lola are capable of.

He was hospitalized, already mentally deranged, and at first glance, it seemed he was dead. Neil's chances of returning to normal were roughly two percent. The Foxes weren't the first to learn about him. After the attack on the team, Kevin's revelations, and the news of what was happening to Neil, the Foxes tried to spend more and more time with him, begging the doctors to keep them informed of all the information about this unfortunate man. They categorically refused to let them into the ward, and Nicky tried to threaten Andrew, but he merely ignored the situation. Some made no attempt to hide their anxiety, some reassured others with promises, and some feigned calm—like Andrew.

To say nothing had changed in him would be to keep his mouth shut. He categorically refused to talk or interact with anyone, but thoughts of Neil didn't make him feel any better. Accustomed to frequent, less-than-ideal outcomes, Andrew, somewhere deep down, still clung to the hope for a miracle.

It would seem that worrying about Neil was perfectly understandable, but not for Andrew. It was all accompanied by carelessness and confused thoughts.

The doctors delivered perhaps the happiest news of the week. Neil had woken up and was feeling, surprisingly, better than he had seemed. But the only one who knew about it was Kevin: he decided to keep it a secret until he spoke with Neil.

Andrew slowly raised the glass of water to his mouth, but his hand failed him. The container fell with a loud clang onto the smooth floor. He didn't know what it was that had to face such a fate. Not the first, not the second.

Nathan Wesninsky is Neil Josten's father.
Nathan was about to finish off Neil, but fortunately, Neil's uncle, Stuart Hatford, managed to save him in time. There were some injuries, of course, but everything was repairable, and Neil was taken to the hospital.
