Re: Looking for Jack: Evie/Wren/Luke + Jack
[She knew, logically, that leaving Jack alone in a state like this wasn't an option, it wouldn't be a real kindness, but now she wondered what would happen when she wound up sick and was in his position. She'd find a dream in there somewhere, as fake and eerie as it was if she found it she'd hold onto it. Her thoughts moved over the last year that had been filled with so much and she knew she'd have done better if Will had been there. She would want to stay in a euphoric dream world forever too.
But it wasn't kindness to let someone suffer in delusions no matter how much you thought you'd be okay with it yourself. So they had to get out of this. And soon.
It was worry for his health, and doing the right thing that kept her smiling warmly and saying hello. Her face hurt too, from the smiling. She was warm and inviting and completely torn up on the inside. She knew this situation would only be seen as a kindness after the fact, when all was said and done and Jack was on the mend. But if things went poorly now, it would be betrayal and pain. She didn't want to see that happen. But she kept plugging along. Hoping for the best.]
We're all stubborn [added with a soft smile, and a gentle teasing tone. She continued walking out of the room, slowly, making sure others were coming along. It wasn't far to the car, she was well aware that walking too fast or too far could very well shatter an image she was convinced was as fragile as spun sugar. So she was calm. She would rage later in the Danger Room. One way or another they had to get out of this.]
