Jim is not Jim anymore. He is no longer the devil. He is no longer a consulting criminal mastermind.
He is Richard Brook, a man with no past, and a new future. He has no idea who he is, apart from his name, and he has no idea what happened to him, apart from the fact they found a hole in his head.
Amnesia. That's what they tell Sebastian.
And Sebastian is no longer Sebastian, or Sniper 3, or Dick, or Bloody Bastard. He is simply Seb or Sebby. Sometimes he get's called Lovely or Dear. He is no longer a Sniper, he's a carer.
Sometimes he'll wake up with a shout and hear the pad of footsteps on the landing. Then the door will swing open and Richard will creep in looking concerned. He'll sit on the end of the bed and murmur words of comfort. Jim would have scoffed at Sebastian for being soft.
Richard Brook is kind. Sebastian sometimes feels that he can learn to love him. But he is not Jim Moriarty. And he never will be again.
