Oh, this is beautiful and very painful. So him, though. You've nailed the companions' reactions perfectly too (though I'd have liked to see what Jack would have to say to him). Gorgeously melancholy.

(Personally, I'm relieved that he wouldn't let Christina go with him, but that's another story entirely)

Thanks, too, for the link to that deleted scene; I really must break open my S4 pack and see what else I missed!
