[So he did. And the description is enough to make Zelos frown further as he watches Jack step away, eyes following his back until he turns around to face him like that.]

I'm sorry. [He's not sure what else to say, honestly. And at the questions that follow-- does he know? Well, if he thinks about it that way he guesses, he doesn't really know but... They've barely spoken over the past years. Every bit of his existence is the reason for why she's locked up like she is.

Eventually he shifts himself, because sitting alone on the bed like this is less appealing now, and he takes a few steps across the room, but away from Jack. Back to him, in fact, as he thinks on how to approach continuing this conversation.

This is too much all at once. He's surprised the guy has stuck around.]

I wasn't a double mole from the start, you know. [It's out of nowhere, but clearly serious. He doesn't want to turn and see Jack's face, or he's hesitant to, but he's listening between his own words.]

The Project Head approached me one day and asked me to do it. Asked me what it would take. [It's clear he's not fond of his own way of thinking in this situation.] I told him if he could keep my sister safe... If he could put her somewhere she wouldn't just be locked up and blamed for the crimes of someone else, I'd betray everyone I'd met on board to give him information.

It's not like I had good intentions from the start. I knew what I was doing.
