Jay has been torn to shreds and put back together too many times for him to remember. Jay’s darkness has been broken beyond any repair, it cannot break any further. He can play dead for as long as he needs. Jay was the only one to come into contact with Dem and beat him at his own game. He is scared of Dem. Ran away from Dems pocket dimension and is now just hiding from him. Dem is more a fake friend to Jay.
