JACK
"It never seems to end well for anyone," Jack responds to Flora, which, while still very much a non answer in terms of directness, isn't actually a no. It's only very recently that Jack has even considered what close means beyond a surface or transactional sense, and he has welcomed Flora into the murky waters of his reality (whether she liked it or not, as it happens, and see how well it's working out for her).
Indeed, as the spike of her misinterpretation prickles across his magic, Jack is already trying to draw her back against him. "Difficult as it might be to imagine, I wasn't actually thinkin' about you just then," he informs her quietly. "I was thinkin' about someone I killed who got too close." Not someone who died, because if nothing else, the captain owns his murders, and he'd very much been the cause of Eloise's death.
