You can be frustrated.

[ It's not Nate's place to tell anyone how they should or should not feel, because it doesn't matter what his take is on it. If someone is upset, they've got a reason to be. Whether or not he agrees with it doesn't actually hold weight. ]

With the Sam thing...it was just us for a long time. Then it was just me.

[ Nate starts to peel the plastic label off his beer bottle with an intent look on his face. ]

I didn't want him to be alone here. And I didn't want to renege on my offer to let you stay and share the rent. That was...selfish. With the extra job, it's- I didn't think it was important. But I also guess I just didn't- think. I saw an opportunity to get more information about the mercenaries, and I took it.

[ And that's the problem, is it? That it never occurred to him that there would be blowback, he just reacted to the consequences of a mistake he made, and it was easier not to tell the others when he wanted to put as much distance between them and the casino as he could. ]

I didn't think about you, or Sam, or anyone else. I just wanted to get somewhere and do something so I could get a break from the fucking ghosts.
