Mkay adding more context cause I love lore dumping lol-
So I imagine this standoff is like Ivan just finding out about his brother's involvement. Which is where the Hamilton quote comes in.
"You Pay Him In Advance, You Treat Him With Civility. You Have Him Turn Around So He Can Have Deniabilty"
This I feel like is Ivan recalling and complaing about the sorta betrayal he feels. Ivan has to pay his brother's bail every time, and Dimitri doesn't even bother to get better. Despite Ivan showing shame and resentment into having to do this (I feel like he'd close his eyes, or like have ppl turn around as to not witness him do this), yet Dimitri still commits crimes. He's sorta like "I can't believe I have to do this" to this art where he's more "I can't believe I've ever even helped you". Ivan now feels even more shame and guilt than he ever did since, his brother grew worse and worse over time, and now there's a possibility where he might even be involved in Dr. Sunshine's murder.
