The Ballad of Never After

“I don't have a heart, Little Fox.”

Jacks keeps an apple in his hand just to feel something sweet. It makes you realize how lonely immortality actually is. He would rather have a snack than a soul.

Evangeline keeps choosing hope even when it ruins her. It is painful to watch. Most people would have hardened their hearts by now.

“I want you to want me.”

The way Jacks looks at Evangeline in the library says everything. He hates that he cares about her. Love feels like a curse to him.

Apollo is a reminder that being a hero doesn't make you the right choice. He is perfect on paper. He is terrifying in reality.
