He'd watch a man die beside him, actually stopped him from doing it the first time. Pulled the garage open and let the fumes out... but in the end he let the man take his own life and Jack sat there beside him. Through it all Jack was the one that moved on, and lived on and everyone else around him got to leave.
Crouched down he stared into the features of a man he thought wouldn't leave him, onto pale skin and salt stained cheeks from tears that no doubt came from frustration and anger. Jack knew the pain... the anguish of death... of knowing the life was so fragile. Jack also knew the pain of living again... of feeling it all pull him back into the world as if the world actually needed him in it. Yanking him out of the darkness... and now Adam was in the darkness.
Suzie... Gwen... all of them gone into the darkness and came back... Suzie was gone again, and maybe she understood in a way what he felt, but Adam was different. Adam was a man that he felt like he knew and now Adam was laying there lifeless.
Jack was unwilling to accept it, and unwilling to let someone else leave him so soon after finding them. His hands reached around shoulders tugging Adam up a bit. Jack shifted around, pulling Adam out of the casket and onto the part that was still concrete covering the other half of the casket. His hands tipped his head back and Jack pressed his mouth to Adam's, it was a breath of life... as much life as he had to give, he gave it.
Pulling away from his mouth he listened for breath, and then started compressions on Adam's chest, "You aren't allowed to die... not in my lifetime..."
