Kenji practically has to bully him into trying to find out where Juliette is being held so they can break her out. And even though he and Kenji just said ten pages ago that Warner is, in essence, a sociopath and monster, Adam was all "lol it's okay Warner won't hurt Juliette so she can just stay with him for a while." Uhh.what? Even Kenji gets on his ass and calls Adam out, asking him why he isn't more gung-ho to save Juliette from (presumably) Warner's grasp if Adam truly loves Juliette. That's about the only redeeming quality of Adam in this novella.And once Juliette is captured, he assumes (wrongly, it turns out) that it is Warner who captured her. He even blames her (sort of) for his own inaction at one point. He keeps saying that Juliette isn't built for war and she should have just stayed back at Omega Point. I hate to say it, but this novella made me really dislike Adam.
