[Leo's 'crime,' so to speak, was far more severe. Leo is the one who refused to escape, who came up with the plan to trap himself and leave his brothers behind, who ordered (then begged) Casey to follow through. Casey's crime was being afraid and conditioned to obey Leo. The fact that their joint screw-up ended up with Leo taking the beatings and the terror doesn't change that it was Leo's idea in the first place.
But maybe Donnie's starting to get used to Casey, because when Casey comes back with that shakily determined look on his face, he's not surprised. Even considering how well his own family knows him, Casey's taken his explanations and feelings with remarkable ease. If nothing else, that convinces Donnie that Casey was very, very close with all of them in the future, indeed.
(Well. Most of them.)
The look of appraisal Donnie drags over Casey's face (checking to make sure he's not going to be dragged into another emotional talk) is a brief one, before Donnie retrieves the scrap of paper from his fist to unfold it again, though he'd already memorized it on the first read.] Yeah. What the heck is a "Warren Stone"?
