Normally, when others picked on Jacob, Dorian didn't need to step in. But when Jacob looked like he couldn't hold on anymore, he'd still get him a little food or something to drink. Dorian agreed to help and set things up for him, then didn't bother him again.

Jacob was terrified he'd miss his chance, so he seized the moment and suddenly rushed forward. Jacob was done living like this. Even in his previous life, things had never been this bad.
