Nick’s Dad
Jonathan is Nick’s half-brother from his father’s second marriage. Nick and Jonathan meet for the first time when Nick visits France as a teenager. Jonathan is a young child at the time, but Nick sees himself in his younger half-brother right away. Jonathan moves to England with his family when he is 13. Jonathan looks up to Nick and becomes an Arsenal fan due to Nick’s influence. They occasionally go to games together, and Nick notices that Jonathan is particularly enthralled by the violence that often erupts in the crowd during Arsenal games. Nick knows that this is harmful, and he feels responsible.

Nick reconnects with his father when his father returns to England after a decade moving between France and America. Nick’s half-brother Jonathon is now 13. Nick takes Jonathon, who is already a passionate football fan, to an Arsenal game in an attempt to ensure that Jonathon becomes a fan of the team. During the game, fights constantly break out in the terraces, which captivates Jonathon. Jonathon finds this so entertaining, in fact, that he does indeed become a lifelong Arsenal fan. Nick and Jonathon become closer through their shared love of Arsenal, just as Nick first forged a relationship with Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt.
