Jack decided to look through some old photos. He had nothing else better to do. The photos appeared around him. The videos playing as well. He clicked one where he actually looked somewhat happy, and actual smile on his face. It had been when his only goal in life was to please his father. Tapping the image, it raced forwards and soon his whole vision was of the 360 degrees picture. It was of the Winter Formal. Which Jack had proudly decorated himself when he was only a freshman. Before he dropped out. The ballroom had delicate blue walls and a soft layer of snow covering the floor. Snow drifted down from the ceiling and a small ice rink in the corner. A large table in the corner held the buffet and the dancefloor was the only area not covered in snow. It was beautiful in its own way. Jack himself looked healthier. Though his lips were purple, he wore a nice black tuxedo and a white shirt underneath. His eyes were almost as white as his sclera and his pupils were the only dark thing about him. A pretty girl, Allie, stood next to him. She was a tomboy and was gifted with the power of growing plants, which was why white and blue live flowers filled the room. She wore A grey skater dress with off the shoulder sleeves. Her dark green eyes and lilac colored hair matching the dress perfectly. Louise stood on the other side of jack with a mischievous smile. His ability to control emotions not coming through in this photo. His brown hair and eyes normal and mischievous. Those were Jack's old friends, well, before the Death happened. Jack realized he was crying and forced the photo out of his brain. Silent sobs shaking his body.

The Merfolk memory was impeccable. They could recall every detail of their lives into sharp focus, and examine every inch of the memories frame by frame. Some memories were in the back, of unimportant parts, such as eating and sleeping and school. More prominent memories hovered around the edges, of fights, friends, family and interesting tidbits of a Mer's life. Then there were the memories that were always in their minds, of either amazing or horrible times.

Jack stopped crying as soon as possible, making sure his face was completely dry before he stopped wiping his face. Tears could freeze on his very face, it was a miracle that they hadn't froze as soon as they rolled down his cheeks. He looked at the necklace Kiache had given him, perhaps it really was helping him? He didn't really know. Though he desperately hoped it was. Looking down at the bracelet, the time appeared. He had about 5 minutes before he was free to roam about the city. Five minutes to figure out if he wanted to get out of this city and explore The Outskirts.

Time ticked away slowly but surely as Jack made his final decision. He would visit Kiache for a bit before leaving to The Outskirts followed by The Unknown. The noise of wind chimes filled Jack's small room as his alarm rang through the warm air. Allowing himself to stand up, Jack grabbed his headphones and pulled them on. A beautiful wave of sound entering his ears and mind. The music soothed him and he made his way to the secret room on light feet. Avoiding the servants, both man and robot filed through the halls regularly. The limitations and rules of their jobs always on their minds since a single smudge on the floor could mean punishment. That was not Jack's choice though. It was Liam's. Finally, Jack opened the door to the room and silently closed the door behind him. His headphones dropping down to his neck automatically.

The corners of Jack's lips upturned slightly at the sight of Kiache but the almost smile quickly disappeared. Replaced by a subtly happy look that made up for his never smiling face. "Hey Kiache," Jack's normally worn out voice was smooth and gentle, "would you like something to eat?" His hand automatically gestures towards the freezer which held Kiache's food. "It must get boring, eating basically the same thing everyday." Jack thought with a sigh, he wished Kiache had better living conditions.

Jack nodded when she said she didn't need any food then sat on the floor, still a bit away from the tank. Just in case. "Well I have free time today so j decided to spend most of it with you then get out of here for a bit so I can visit The Unknown. I'm sorry I can't get you out of here." A bit of sadness reached his gaze when he said this. Kiache didn't deserve this small tank for the rest of her life. No merfolk did, they deserved the ocean. They had done nothing wrong.
