[Really? That's his game? Challenging him to kill Ana too?
Its not a bad idea. It would give him something else to focus on. Something else to do, another way to prove Jack wrong about him. But it doesn't escape his notice that it would be just as useless.]
[Yeah, Jack isn't sure where he's going with this, but he seems to think that maybe he can find the chink in Reaper' s armor if he pushes far enough. Doesn't mean it's not frustrating.]
[Its a challenge he'd take any day -- if it were anyone else. But Ana had still shot him, so that should have been enough motivation to move forward.
But it wasn't as if she hadn't taken those shots before, when Jack was involved. He hadn't mattered to them like they mattered to each other in a long time.]
its never going to go back to how it was. we have different things we want for the world. that's just how it is.
if we did any good, we wouldn't be where we are. besides. we didn't do any work here.
these people don't care about you. they don't care about amari. they don't care about me. why do you care so much about what happens to them? to this planet?
i'll tell you one more time. stay out of my way. and if you can't do that, then you aren't tired enough.
[...huh. That's almost an actual apology. It doesn't mean he's going to accept it -- he was in far too deep, and leaving him to his current state of being wasn't something Jack could just apologize away.]
nobody was there when it mattered.
[And to make sure he isn't tempted to reply again, he slides the TAB across the floor to the other side of the room.]

[Which says something, Jack thinks.]
Can't. Not as long as you're trying to undo all the good we did.
