*"I resign."*

There's nothing we can do. He just stands there, engulfed by ice. And we,... I stand here silently watching him. He saved the planet, again. But this time it cost him more than a few simple bruises.

*"We can't just leave him like this!"*

Without really knowing what I'm doing, I place my hand against the ice. I need to touch him in any way possible. Yet I don't feel the cold. My mind is focused on his eyes, who keep watching me. They tell me the too long denied truth.

*"Please Jack..."*

This isn't goodbye.

I promise.
