However the hell this scene has unfolded it's left Jack with a few more things to settle in his own mind, and even more to try and sort through with Adam. The only thing that he's most concerned with at the moment is that the two of them... Hiro and Adam seemed to be in a state of almost indebtedness to each other, and it's something Jack doesn't feel comfortable with. To think that someone could feel their life belonged to someone else... Jack never wanted to think like that. The guilt of his own trespasses were enough, and to think that he could add to it all the errors of those that he knew onto his list as well... it put a weight on him he didn't want to carry. He wasn't responsible for them... or for their actions, and he couldn't understand how they could feel this sense of ownership so effortlessly, as if life was nothing at all to them.
Jack moved with a bit of frustration in his step, Jack places his hand on the blade, then another onto Hiro's shoulder, meeting his gaze as he pushes him away from the blade, "Hold nothing somewhere else... this struggle with whatever you have going on isn't going to end here. I won't let him kill you, and he seems pretty set already on not killing you, and I'll be damn well sure you're not doing yourself upon the blade either. I came to get him, and I'm taking him with me."
He forced the blade down, seeing in Adam's eyes just how thin he was stretched at the moment, the tension in the sword barely worth the effort exerted, "This here? Is done. We're leaving and," Jack glanced to the gravesite, "I'll make arrangements to repair this. It was never my intent to disrespect any of this, but I wasn't allowing him to stay there. No one deserves that, no one."
Jack let go of the blade finally and started to move away from the two of them, it wasn't his place, it wasn't his mess and even though he wanted to show them both just how fucked the world really is, and how this one small event was nothing... nothing at all in the grand scheme of things, he knew he couldn't. Instead he stopped and turned to face Adam, his eyes once more asking something he almost felt like he couldn't bear to hear the truth of, "Are you coming with me... or staying here?"
