Zack
After Cold Comfort
When a person cries, it is a sign of weakness. When Zack cries, the situation is dire. If the world were coming to an end, Zack would not cry.
Watching Zack cry is breaking me. I am not only crying for Brin, but for Zack. For pain so severe he shows emotions. For my big, tough CO who is watching years of his care go back to Manticore on her own free will.
Zack's tears are a symbol of all that is wrong in the world. Zack's tears are the years of emotions he's hid from us. Zack's tears are more rare than the finest jewels on the poorest men. I have never wanted to see Zack's tears.
