Ian should've known it was a fool's dream. Escape. Calm. Normalcy.
He'd join the army. Obey orders. War somehow seemed more predictable than his life.
The joke must've always been on him.
(The boy who had fallen in love with a guy from the Milkovich family couldn't really be that naive, could he?)
If God existed, if people's lives were like written stories... Dude probably thought he'd left enough foreshadowing for his siblings. Was he preparing Ian too?
Chaos was always looming just below the surface, even in Ian "Frank-isn't-actually-his-father" Gallagher.
All along that bipolar gene had been inside him.
