There's something to be said for the power of guilt.

Ash has been wandering about as himself ever since Stacie's funeral and every night he can't sleep for a good hour because all he thinks about are the people who might have thought of him as whoever he was playing that week and genuinely believed him. And what for? It's not like they had money

"You asshole."

The words were spoken quietly and, to be perfectly honest, Jill hadn't intended on saying anything at all. She'd seen the file on the bulletin board and as far as she could tell, this man who wasn't really Roger May wasn't worth a second of her time. Not when he'd lied to her so freely.

She'd lost so many people on the island already, but not like this. Never like this.

Ash lets the cigarette dangle between his lips for a long moment before he takes it out and looks her over, figuring that she knows. How? He doesn't know. It's not like he's pretending anymore, but it's also not like he's been shouting it from the rooftops. "I'm not going to bother saying anything past I'm sorry, because I doubt you'll even take that one from me," he says, voice rougher than before.

"I don't really believe you give a shit, because you got absolutely nothing out of lying to me in the first place," Jill snapped, wishing she'd just had the sense to walk away the second she'd caught sight of him. "I know you lost your friend recently and I'm very sorry you had to go through that. No one should have to."

The comment was pointed and for a moment she almost felt guilty about making it, but it still stood. She'd been through death and island disappearances, but this had been willful deceit.

He has to know this next part and he lets her words sink in slightly (more than slightly, they push deep and keep going). "How'd you find out?" he finally asks, seeing as he doesn't see Danny or Luck telling a soul about who he really is and they're about the only ones left outside of that Moist bloke he knew through Danny who knows who Ash Morgan really is.
