I agree. You misunderstand me. I think that this is entirely because of Devlin, not Shawn. I don't blame him in the least. I'm the choir here.
No -- I don't misunderstand you. I understand you don't blame Shawn in the slightest. I'm simply stating that, by talking about his personality (and I don't know that child, so I don't feel qualified to talk about his personality anyway) you are unwittingly giving credence to the notion that his personality played a role in his failure to escape.
