You're saying that it's easier for you to deal with because you've been through it before? I kind of find that hard to believe. Seems like it's adding insult to injury.

No. Not quite that. I know where Madi is. I can reconcile that. Even if that version of me failed to save that world, I know where my daughter is right now.

That's something I can ground myself in, something more real.

Yeah, guess that counts for something.

Which is where I turn it back onto you.

What about me? Never had a husband or a kid. Not sure what else there is to tell.

So, you actually had something to lose.

I didn't lose anything. It wasn't really there in the first place.

It doesn't work that way.

You get to decide that?

I'm not deciding anything.

We don't need to talk about it.

My head being on straight isn't the only thing that matters, Jack.

My head is on straight.

You realize that sounds defensive, right?

Yeah. Don't really care.

Fine. But I'm here if and when you're ready to talk.

And if you aren't, then I hope you do have someone you can talk to.

I'll keep it in mind.

[ But it's unlikely this is going to be something Jack's ever ready to talk about. ]

Good.

[At least she tried.]
