|'''[[Althea Swyfte]]''':
|n/a
|
|
* ''To admit he doesn't deserve his celebrity''
* Forrest can’t admit that he doesn’t deserve his celebrity to Althea because he truly believes that he deserves his place, his position allowed him to gain stardom yes, but he sees his battling with agents and publishers as making him deserving.
|
|
|
|
|-
|'''[[Edmonds Longfellow]]''':
|
* ''Reconnection''
* Althea can't give Edmonds what he wants because she never felt all that strongly for him in the first place. He was what was available at the time, and she left him as soon as it no longer seemed like the best option. She doesn't see him as anything more than a past fling that she barely thinks about anymore.
|n/a
|
|
|
|
|
* ''Forgiveness''
* Titus refuses to forgive Edmonds because Titus regards Edmonds as fundamentally selfish - until that changes, he’ll never believe that Edmonds was trying to look out for others instead of himself.
|-
|'''[[Forrest Doegesit]]''':
|
|
* ''Exculpation''
* Edmonds would never able to forget the horrible things that Forrest has done to him during their younger days. He feels that any attempt at reconciliation from Forrest at this time would be a facade, and just another arrogant attempt to manipulate the faculty at the school.
|n/a
|
* ''Friendship''
* Ethel is trying to fix strained relationships, and knows Edmonds still has a huge problem with Forrest. Ethel wants to get along with Forrest, but doesn't want to damage the relationship with Edmonds further.
|
|
|
|-
|'''[[Ethel Schmitz]]''':
|
* ''Friendship''
* Althea can't give Ethel what she wants because she hasn't forgiven Ethel for the years of sniping, backbiting, and distrust. It's not an easy thing to let go of your opinion of someone who tormented you in your most vulnerable years.
|
* ''To reset her relationship''
* Edmonds remembers Schmitz as a bit of a drama queen and disliked her attitude towards Althea. His ability to reconnect with anyone, especially Schmitz, is nearly impossible. The more personal he gets with someone the more he sees, and this is the greatest cause of his misery.
|
|n/a
|
| 
* ''Reconciliation''
* Hepsy can't reconcile with Ethel because she thinks Ethel is refusing to express her true self by denying her gift for Conjuration.
|
|-
|'''[[Dynadan Mather]]''':
|
|
|
|
|n/a
|
* ''To contact Erik''
* Hepsy will not help Danny contact Erik because that is deeply Stygian magic and she is not going to risk what small trust she has won among magical society on that kind of project, even for her childhood crush.
|
* ''To investigate Forrest''
* Titus refuses to assist Danny in investigating Forrest because he thinks Danny is using suspicion of Forrest as a way to distract from Danny's own problems. Titus also already thinks that Forrest is a beneficiary of a corrupt system, and investigating his own personal foibles is a waste of time that could be better spent addressing broader problems and he wants Forrest on-side for that process.
|-
|'''[[Hepsybeth Dankworth]]''':
|
|
|
|
* ''Trust''
* Hepsy disagrees with Ethel's change in direction and avoidance of certain potentially destructive conjurations. Ethel finds this a dangerous opinion and has a difficult time with someone questioning such a fundamental and deep-seated belief, and puts up walls in response.
|
* ''Closure''
* Dynadan cannot give Hepsy closure because she's one of the few people he trusts (she's always liked him, even before he was popular in school), and he's afraid of losing her.
|n/a
|
|-
|'''[[Titus Leighton]]''':
|
|
|
* ''Recognition'' (that the system is flawed)
*Forrest can’t give Titus recognition of the flawed system which favored him as the acknowledgment of a mistake would completely destroy his sense of order. The world makes sense to Forrest because each person has their place, which he can exploit to his advantage.
|
|
* ''Openness''
* Dynadan cannot grant Titus openness because Dynadan views Titus as too supportive to be sincere.
