[darkness swirls in as he takes a step away from Oz, and he disappears once more]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

Stop running away!

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[a drop of water and the floor ripples as Oz's voice echoes in the dark]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

Don't think I won't find you!

[stomping off into the dark]

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[so much dark -- so much emptiness and dark]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

It says something when my mind is this depressing...

[still walking into the dark confidently]

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[your determination vs Jack's round... whatever this is]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

Okay, that's enough.

[and the darkness clears up]

[you find yourself in a hallway -- there's light coming from beneath a doorway halfway down]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

[walking through the hallway, muttering]

[as you approach, you'll begin to hear the soft sound of Lacie tinkling through the air]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

Jack?

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[the sound is definitely coming from the lit doorway, and the door is cracked open slightly]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

[pulling the door open]

[it's a bed chamber, brightly lit against the darkness. a fire roars in the fireplace. there's a desk with papers and books strewn across it, and in the bed, a disheveled Jack sits with the comforter pulled tightly around him]

[sighs. walks up to you and sits behind your back]

Are you sure you're my ancestor?

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

Should that make dealing with the pain easier?

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

Heh. As if I would give you all the credit for my pain.

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[pulling his blankets around him. beneath them, he's clad only in a nightshirt]

... I loved Glen... possibly more than anyone else in the world.

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

Mmm. I know.

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

Then please don't say things like that.

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

...Do you understand why I said it?

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[pulls the blankets tighter around him]

It isn't the same. Killing is never easy, but... it's not the same.

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

[sighs]

No one should be thanked for killing.

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

No, but... if it's the only choice left, then they need to know it was the right one.
