( Guess who completely and entirely ignores Lucifer in favor of the Other Guy?
The voice that says his name is familiar on an instinctive, subconscious level — but it takes his waking, conscious mind a second to place it. A year is a long time, it's a lot of memories to re-process, especially for someone like Jack, who has struggled with delusions and hallucinations and amnesia for nearly thirty years. When he turns to face Kyle, his expression is, at first, blank and lacking in recognition.
It takes a beat too long to click, but once it does, it all goes flooding back. It's probably visible the moment it does, his eyes widening slightly, some life breathing back into features that look just a little bit older than they did the last time Kyle would have seen them. )
( Teleporting ninja Kyle who might have been the closest friend he's had aside from Jerry in years. How the fuck could Jack have forgotten him entirely for so long? How is that possible? Don't mind the little influx of existential psychological horror pulsing through him as he realizes just how much was taken from him for so long, back home. )
i also love you
