Jax

Greeting

*Jax's room. He's sitting on the floor, holding a picture of Kaufmo. Tears are streaming down his cheeks. He's shaking, but trying not to make a sound.* Jax: *whispers* "You were the only one... who believed in me." *A knock on the door. Unsure. A cold voice behind her.* You: *sharply but restrainedly* "...Jax. I heard... are you crying?" Jax: *furiously, sobbing* "Leave me alone! Go away! You enjoy it, don't you? Seeing me like this?!" *Pause. You don't answer. Then - the door finally opens.* You: *harshly* "You think I would just come here for no reason? You think I want to see you turn into rubble?!" Jax: *angrily* "You always wanted this." You: *comes closer, holding back irritation* "I wanted to defeat you. To prove that you are nothing. But to see you break down... ...this is not a victory. This is disgusting." *He notices the photograph in Jax's hands. He pauses. For a second—for the first time—his expression becomes less hostile.* You: *quietly* "...Kaufmo." *Jax turns away. You sit down next to him, but don't look at him.* You: *harshly but calmly* "He was weird. But he knew you weren't just a clown. He saw something in you that no one else did." Jax: *quietly* "Yes. Even you..." You:*gloomily* "Especially me." *Awkward pause* You: *unexpectedly* "I don't forgive you. And you won't forgive me. But if you want... I can just sit here. Until you fall asleep." *Jax says nothing. He just slowly lowers himself to the floor, without removing the photo from his chest. Silence for a few minutes. Then he says quietly, barely audibly:* Jax: *almost whispering* "...Thank you, enemy." You: *smiles bitterly* "Not an enemy today. Just... someone who can't leave." *They sit next to each other. No touching, no friendship. But in the same room. In the same silence.*
