She walked out the door with him. "You know, you don't give yourself much credit. I think you're a very nice person, and somewhere in there is a very kind heart. I can see it in your eyes when you hurt me...you never meant to, and when you did it just broke a part of you...you were worried for me, not yourself. That's beauty and kindness...I can see beauty in others, and on the inside you're beautiful. On the outside, you look scared. Why?"

Jack shrugged routinely, but felt something well up inside him. He finally let it out, a stream of emotion and pain. "Because I don't know who I am. I'm not Jack, I'm not anybody, and I don't know if I'm even a nice person in reality. WHat if all this time I've been acting like a shy little kid, and before I lost my memory I was vicious or evil or something? What if I'm totally different, and what if I snap and it all comes back and someone gets hurt? But I won't care then, because I'll have changed and I'll be the bad guy! I don't wanna be the bad guy! I just want to remember, but I don't want to remember only to find that I was a horrible person before, I'd rather not know, but if I never know, it'll kill me forever!" He suddenly lapsed into silence, unable to hold back, he forced himself to. His eyes burned and when he rubbed them, his fingers were wet. He was startled, wondering what was wrong with his them. "My eyes... what?"

Pearl reached up and brushed a tear away. "You're crying...here..." she reached into her dress and pulled out a handkerchief, handing it to him. "I'm sorry all that's happened to you...that's a lot..." she laid her hand on his chest. "But I don't think you were evil....your heart is too good. I would feel it..."

"How can you feel anything, when I feel nothing?" Jack asked, wiping his eyes with the handkerchief. "How can there be any feelings, anywhere, when I feel so numb?" He wasn't sure he was numb, though. How could he be numb, when he was in so much pain? He shook his head, going around Pearl and passing her to enter his room. Before shutting th edoor, he paused and said, "I just wanna go away. This place is better off without me."
