Fate leads him to the outside of the home he had in his 20's. The trio sees Cindy watching him through the window that looks though the basement laboratory. She spies him slumped over his computer. The young woman cannot understand why the genius has left her. She knows that something is terribly wrong but has no idea what the predicament could be. Remembering the day he broke her heart, she recalls the conversation.
"Neutron, you know I love you. You've known it since we were little kids. Nothing that is wrong could ever affect my love for you. Please Jimmy. Give me another chance please. I'll change anything you like. Please." she had said with her head inclined to hide the obvious tears that jerked her voice. It was the only time she could remember ever begging for anything.
"I'm sorry Cindy, but it has to be this way. There is nothing you can do." He claimed, turning on his heel and stalking away.
"FINE! BE THAT WAY NEUTRON! COWARD!"
The words stung, she had called him many things in his life, but never 'coward'. Even with his deafening ears, the he only sound he could hear was the love of his life dissolving in sobs.
Now a month later, she was at his window by night, watching him deafening but never understanding.
LOST
IN YOUR DARK
I SEE YOU THERE
WHAT DO YOU SEE BEYOND YOUR
STARE
AND YOU BELIEVE THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN KNOW
WHAT
IS THIS THING YOU KEEP INSIDE
OUT OF THE LIGHT AND WRAPPED IN
PRIDE
ALWAYS AFRAID THAT ONE DAY IT WILL SHOW
I'LL
KEEP YOUR SECRETS
I'LL HOLD YOUR GROUND
AND WHEN THE DARKNESS
STARTS TO FALL
I'LL BE AROUND THERE WAITING
WHEN DREAMS ARE
FADING
AND FRIENDS ARE DISTANT AND FEW
KNOW
AT THAT MOMENT I'LL BE THERE WITH YOU
WHAT ARE THESE VOICES THAT
YOU HEAR
ARE THEY TOO FAR OR FAR TOO NEAR
WHAT ARE THESE THINGS
THAT ECHO FROM THE PAST
WHO
ARE THESE GHOSTS YOU SEE AT NIGHT
THERE IN THE SHADOWS OF YOUR
LIFE
THEY ONLY LIVE BY THE LIGHT YOU CAST
I'LL
KEEP YOUR SECRETS
I'LL HOLD YOUR GROUND
AND WHEN THE DARKNESS
STARTS TO FALL
I'LL BE AROUND THERE WAITING
WHEN DREAMS ARE
FADING
AND FRIENDS ARE DISTANT AND FEW
KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I'LL BE THERE WITH YOU
I'LL
BE AROUND
WHEN THERE'S NO REASON LEFT TO CARRY ON
AND EVERY
DREAM YOU'VE EVER HAD IS GONE
AND THE DARK IS DEEP AND BLACK
WITHOUT A SOUND
AND EVERY STAR HAS BEEN DRAGGED TO THE GROUND
KNOW
AT THAT MOMENT I WILL BE AROUND
KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I WILL BE
AROUND
