When Violet is gravely ill, Titus mostly ignores her messages and rejects her pleas. What does Violet need from Titus? Why doesn’t he give it to her? Why does she believe he’s different from his friends? Is he?

Violet's feed isn't working well. She does not come from money and can't afford to fix it. She needs empathy and understanding from Titus which he does not give. Titus is, like most teens in the story, a pretty self-absorbed dude.
