But it'll lead to asking Jack to intercede on his behalf or asking what he's doing or where he's going and it's less of a benefit to anyone and more of a drain on Jack than he's willing to put up with.

"There's only one way for this to be made fair- and it. Kinda already happened." All that blue fire.

Not without making him do something he's sworn not to. IT's bad enough that I-"
He shakes his head. Jack knows. Jack has to know. "That it ended the way it did. There's no right here, Jack. There's him. There's me. And what I broke because I was an idiot."
