Outlook

First, Ianto had died at Lisa's hand, and had been resurrected by Jack. Everything was the opposite of what it was. Lisa became the enemy; Jack, the lover and mentor.

Death was an escape denied him. "I almost destroyed the world. How can anyone live with himself after that?" he asked.

Jack's hand on his shoulder was a comfort. "I did it once. Lose yourself in acts of courage."

"I don't think I can. Help me."

"I can't," said Jack. "Healing is something that happens inside you. All I can offer you is love. But I have plenty of that."
