User blog comment:FairyRaven/Fairy Tail Chapter 428: When We Take Different Paths, Review and Commentary/@comment-7418318-20150419081221

After thinking the chapter through one more time I've come to really hate Gray's action greatly, maybe even Gray himself.

With Lucy having been tortured and hurt so often she's got to have built up a high tolerance for pain by now. We've often seen her act even when she was hurt badly, but now she's just lying on the floor writhing in agony to the point of being incapacitated, which leads me to believe that Mary is giving her extremely strong pain, which Gray should also know, having known and fought alongside Lucy for so long.

And yet Gray's just standing there letting it go on without a single word. I can accept that he would let it continue so he can reach his goal/obsession but what really get's my hackles up is that he's saying nothing and looking away.

Granted, appologizing might be a bit too much considering the situation, but at least he shouldn't look away. He could help Lucy but doesn't do it, which makes it partially his responsibility that she's in such agony. And yet he just looks away, thus hiding from his responsibility.

If it was me in Gray's place the very least I would do is to not turn away and bear the burden of my actions. To do otherwise is cowardice in my eyes.
