When we last left our hero , he was in a pinch, mostly due to his loneliness. Worry not,for he has found a cure for it. A remedy you might say. But anyway, here how it goes.
There's this 'monster' inside of me, that resurfaces everytime whenever things get tense. Once in a blue moon, he would take over me, and carry me along, kicking and screaming, to achieve my goal. This 'monster' has never disappoint me. He gets what he wants, whenever he wants. It has been a part of me since the post L days. Every single day it keeps on growing and growing, feeding on all of the hatred buried deep beneath my soul, in hopes that he will consume me. I realized this, but I chose to let him resurface once in a while, just because he carries me through the hard times.
There is one person that I rely on, just to keep the 'monster' in check. If you've been reading since Errors(01), you can pretty sure guess the person is A. That's why I need her. Anyway, A is no more, and I thought that the 'monster' would break out on a rampage but to my surprise, it didn't happen. Why didn't it happen? It's because of her, and for simplicity sake, I would call her, A2.
I met A2 at a very crucial time of my life. I was just annihilated by M, and was in a fragile state. Furthermore, A won't be available anymore(past episodes) and that saddens me. I thought like, "This is it, it's your time to takeover", but it didn't happen, because I met A2. Sure, I had I(more on this in future episodes) to keep me company, but she was thousand of miles away , and I barely even know her. During my soul searching, when I was at my most vulnerable, there comes A2 on a silver platter. What do I mean?
My relationship with A was intricate yet compelling. In other words it was confusing yet comforting, you know? To emulate this amount of complexity in a relationship with someone is impossible up to the point of being absurd. But thinking about it now, I liked how it went, and I am certainly ecstatic about the ending though. A got what she wants, and dear old Jack was let free into the world. A fine fairytale ending. I believe what I have with A can be replicated in A2, and that's what I am aiming for currently.
There was certainly attraction on my part towards A2, she looks like a mixture between A and M, in fact, everytime I went out with her, she feels like a crossover between those 2. She has a boyfriend, so I wouldn't want to pull of a stunt I pulled off on M with her. Her role, with or without she realizing it, is to be a crucial component in the uprising of Jack.Or maybe to my downfall? Huh, we'll see about that. For the
same reason I need A, I need A2.She suppresses the 'monster' within me. Time and time again has proven, and if I know myself better, I will fall for A2 as I fell for A. But, I'll think about it as I cross the bridge. Live in the present, Jack.
