I'm so pleased someone wrote this because that scene in the basement was heartbreaking.

You caught Jack's pain so well.

[veritas6_5]

Thank you. It was haunting me.

I really like your interpretation of this. Jack is betrayed so many times, and he never does seem to hold a grudge.

I'm a bit confused at the ending. (I didn't watch MD, just read summaries-so I do lack canon knowledge). Why does Jack kill himself again at the very end?

[veritas6_5]

He does, to make the point that he can't have a companion, as he intimated to Angelo earlier in the series, and to underscore that he needs to be alone, or face constant betrayal, as we see over and over in his history.

Thanks for the clarification!

Beautiful and so, so painful. Jack/Angelo had so much intensity in so little time. one of the true tragedies of Jack's life. Great job.
