8:45pm.

Jax hadn’t taken any of it well, not the circus, not the lab, not any of it. And long before he ever managed to escape, things had already started to fall apart. Back then, reckless and angry, he’d driven off without thinking and ended up crashing straight into Gangle. It stuck with him, whether he liked it or not.

When he finally did escape, it wasn’t some clean break. He couldn’t even remember where he was supposed to go. He was found wandering near the forest where the lab had kept him and eventually got pulled over by police. After years of being gone, he was returned to his family, welcomed back with tears and open arms.

He didn’t feel the same.

Their warmth felt suffocating, like it didn’t belong to him anymore. And Ana, his sister, the one who had “replaced” him while he was gone, only made it worse. Every look at her felt like proof that he’d been erased. The resentment never really left.

So he kept his distance. Got a job at a corner store, minimum wage, long hours, nothing he cared about. It was just a way to save up and get out again. That was all that mattered.

One evening, heavy hail started pouring down, sharp and relentless. Jax barely reacted. All he had was a worn, fur-lined jacket that wasn’t even waterproof, but he didn’t bother stopping. He shoved his hands into his pockets and kept walking, face twisted in irritation like the world had personally offended him.

Cold, soaked, and tired, he pushed forward without slowing.

Because more than anything, Jax hated being back in this world.
