"We were testing a new implant at work. I was the subject. It worked, but in the process of it working and enhancing, it caused great pain to an extend that I couldn't even pass out from the pain and was forced to be awake even as I screamed for it to stop. Neera was there with your aunt and your new aunt in law, with all of them feeling as helpless as her. One can't outrun his own foolishness when digging into science that quiet frankly oversteps some borders. I may be able to outrun tanks, but that doesn't make me invincible, and even I can be weak." Jack said trying to calm his son down as he took a seat on the stairs next to him while still holding him there.
"You know there were a lot of things that happened, or changed in my childhood that I didn't like, or was upset about. Even I ran from home as a kid. The orphanage really seemed like a cold place, and nobody cared. I had to live on the streets and there were a lot of things that changed then that I had to deal with to move on and survive. But like you and companion, I had a best friend that I could rely on to have my back when things got hard. I hope you get to meet your uncle Zeke some day." Jack continued hoping he could show how he had been where Amit was in a way.
