Self-induced closure.

Jacky came into the room where the others had begun gathering. He came right up to Cass.

"I'm sorry about all of the times I've offended you, but frankly I feel you are emotionally unbalanced. On that subject, I understand why you may be emotionally unbalanced, and it is for those reasons I sympathize with you." Jacky said to her.

Cass blinked for a moment to properly register what he just said.

"Um... okay?" she said back.

Jacky smiled with satisfaction and stepped away. This time he went over to Jaxx.

"I find your personality slightly irritating, but I find that you are generally a nice person, which makes up for it. I feel as though you are much better now than when we first met, whereupon you murdered and ate multiple GELFs on board ship and one time attempted to kill me. I'd like to interject upon myself, however, and say that, from your perspective, at the time, both of those actions must have seemed entirely justified." Jacky said to him.

"Wait, what?" Jaxx said, unable to get a response from Jacky, who had turned to look at Evelina.

Evelina had expected Jacky to go on a long winded speech, and was bracing herself for it.

"Hello." Jacky said.

Evelina waited for a moment.

"Hello?" she repeated.

"Have we met?" asked Jacky.

Evelina was somewhat disappointed.

"No." she said.

"Oh. Well then." Jacky said. He reassured her with a grin and moved on.
