"I don't know. I didn't think I was but now I can't help wondering. Some things in his past could have happened to me and he..."
[He didn't honor his vows, but Alec can't say that. Not when things are so tangled up with Magnus and Sebastian. Except Robert had never really allowed himself to care for people the way Alec did. At least not until Robert had almost lost all of his children.]
"I can show you. I used to teach my brother and sometimes I teach the younger Shadowhunters."
[Jace and Izzy went to the Academy more than Alec did. He was too busy keeping things stable in New York to teach regularly but he did give lessons occasionally.]
"Sebastian, you never have to ask to see me. I wanted to visit you earlier but I didn't know how you were after the nightmare. We both seemed to need time to sort out what happened so I didn't contact you sooner."
[He hopes that Sebastian's right but it's not something he can be sure of. Not yet.]
"My father cheated on my mother. He was planning to leave her but she was pregnant and then there were three of us and they adopted Jace. There are other things in my life that are like what happened to him. It's hard not to think that I'm more like him than I want to be."
