Re: Ivy/Jack C.
I hurt a woman once. It was recent, during that night in the hotel. I wasn't myself at the time, affected by that blue light, and even still, the guilt so gnawed at me that I contacted her and I talked with her about it. I did all I could to make amends. I can think of little worse than hurting a woman in the way you describe. I've seen the men who treat women that way, and I know them well, because I used to kill them.
I don't think that's actually what happened, Ivy.
Like what is futile? I can't help you with Jason. He hardly speaks to me, anyway, and it would take a lot of convincing to get him to believe you aren't out to hurt innocent people. He's fixed on that one.
