And not just his money! His pocket watch that he loves and dad's signet ring, i.e., a symbol of his family that he dearly misses and his father, whose approval he craves (as Blake will soon illustrate with that vicious takedown in a few chapters).
Plus, he has to deal with the thought that as low as he's gone, Frank apparently went lower and didn't trust Avery enough to confide in him. IOW, even the guy he thought was his bff wasn't that close of a friend at all (at least as far as Avery knows).
Mir Aziz's taking Avery under his wing is a good deal more poignant and sinister in retrospect than it initially appeared when I first read the books.
