"I wouldn't come to that conclusion too hastily. I believe Jack has gone through a lot of hardships. I overheard his conversation with Lianth. Everyone since he was young he has been forsaken, abused, and misunderstood. This has driven him to take measures into his own hands which is why he likes to be alone and do things alone. But that is only the half of it. I'm no therapist, but I understand what Jack is going through. For I too have had my share of misfortunes. Though he may not admit it, he is afraid. Afraid of losing those he cares about or having them turn against him. It's hard to keep hope alive when you've been disappointed more times than you care to count. This is why I believe he left . . . to avoid repeating the same pain and sorrow he knows so well."
