[ Silco doesn't see it in the same way. He never had. Was it digging in while she was traumatized? What an accusation. They had both been broken. Broken by abandonment, their mistakes, broken by tempers that flared, and while Silco had never needed a new name — his had too much weight, too much link to the past to ever give it up — Jinx's had been a shackle. Holding her back, keeping her from moving on as she needed to.
No, this was not manipulation, like Vander thinks. Of course he would think that. She'd been giving up him, too.
She thinks there's hope for Vander. Silco disagrees. A fancy, a flight. She'd lost one father, so she clings to the hope of another. That must be what it is. Irrational. ]
If the doctor is involved, he is not so lax. He's a very thorough man.
So enjoy this being your last breath, your last chance at life. No wonder you cling to what little you have so tightly.
[ As if he doesn't do the same? No. No. Not that. His is different. ]
