Song: Who I Am Hates Who I've Been, Relient K
Focal Character(s): Jade
Jade's past was something he spoke of when necessary, and only when necessary. He simply didn't find it beneficial to drag out the skeletons in his closet more than he had to. When he did, he said it matter-of-factly and then moved on.
He gave the facts and the facts only. The others didn't need to know his feelings about his past. They didn't need to know that sometimes he thought the world would be better off if he hadn't been born.
He hated the Jade that had blindly pursued fomicry for his own ends, to bring back his Professor so that he could put his feelings to rest. Because that was a fantasy. It could never happen, and even if it could, deep down, he knew it really wouldn't help him.
And that was why he'd placed the ban on the replication of living things. That was why, when he learned at Deo Pass what Van was doing, he'd almost completely lost control. Almost. But then his spear was gone, his hands back in his pockets, and he was the sarcastic, smirking Jade again who acted, almost, as though the fury had never even existed.
