In Chapter Six, who broke the Circle as the group held hands at the end of the meeting and why?

Cole broke the Circle when he refused to hold his parents' hands. He wasn't going to let them pretend that they loved him.

Cole stood but refused to hold his parents’ hands. He folded his arms defiantly across his chest, causing a break in the Circle. On his left stood a liar who had beat him numb,and on his right stood a dressed-up puppet, afraid of her own shadow. Cole would not let them hold his hands and feel how sweaty they were. He would not let them pretend they loved him. Especially his dad.
