  Summary

  Although their dad leaving may have been the beginning of the end for John's relationship with his brother, it didn't truly fracture until one night in particular.
  The night John fell apart, and there was no one there to pick him back up, and he was forced to stop pretending.

   

  In other words: Baby's first panic attack!! look at him gooooo
