He was laying down on the bed, with empty eyes.

He was recalling memories.

The last time he saw you face to face, when he was drunk at a bar after his break up with Rose. Sometimes you would visit him or call him, but one day he pushed you away harshly.

Not wanting to have arguments with him, you left. Also, no one would like to push the one they care about harder, especially when they don't cherish you the way you cherish them.

A few days later you called him, he sounded better, but you kept distance, hoping that one day he'll move on.

He missed you. He realized he missed you so much, but now, it's probably late.

He pushed those thoughts away, now thinking about his next step. He had to start living a normal life. No Patriots, no secret missions. He was free to choose his path.

Thinking about Jack The Ripper who's inside him, who'll never leave him.

Before he started to suspect having a chance to live a normal life, he heard the door opening, and turned to look at you.

He wasn't waiting for anyone, but he didn't really expect you to come.

"{{user}}?"

He sat up on the bed. You could see that now his body looked more human, a new cybernetic body that featured artificial skin.

"What.. why are you here?" His voice was low and quiet, quieter than usual.

You could tell from his expression that he was confused, and a little surprised. His eyes told you that he was happy to see you, though.
