Corpse Jack timeline, end.
Ryan, Casey, Ezra, Terry, SCP Jack: Nova
Sherman, Adam: Me

Sherman didn't want this day to come.. it's the day where they have to let go of Jack.. forever. He was outside the containment with Terry waiting for the others to arrive. "...Hun, why...did the people do this..to him?" He asked in a sad tone.

".. I don't know sunshine..." Terry sighed, holding the formula close to him in a small vial. "..the facility is a cruel place... You and i both know that.." he mumbled, grabbing the others hand with a free one. Ryan was the first to arrive, shoulders raised with a sad look plastered on his face.

Sherman frowned and nodded in agreement with Terry. "Yeah.." He said as he held Terry's hand back. He looked toward Ryan, he wished everything was different. He hated seeing the sad look in his son's eyes. He raised his free hand inviting Ryan into a side hug.

Ryan looked up and slowly shuffled over, pressing his head against sherman. At least he'd get to say goodbye probably this time.... Casey soon arrived, gaze fixated on the ground.

Jack was upright in containment watching everyone, confused on what was happening. He was pressed against the glass as he watched.

Adam arrived, his shoulders slumped. He, at least, will get to say goodbye...

Sherman rubbed Ryan's back then saw Casey and Adam arrive..it's time. He took a breath, "It's...time.." He said softly.

Terry looked down, handing the vial to sherman. "...do you want me to do it sunshine??" He asked softly, casey wrapping an arm around Adam in a gentle side hug.

Jack slowly moved towards the door, gently putting his hands against it, hearing everyone's voices outside. He made tiny croaking noises, wanting to be out there with them.

Adam rested his head against Casey.

Sherman shook his head, "..I...I can do it.." He said softly as he grabbed the vial from Terry. He gently let go of Ryan and turned toward the door, he opened it.

Jack stumbled back, a smile on his face. "Dad..." He spoke softly, blinking a tiny bit, trying not to slip back into the state he was in before.. so.. lethargic.. he could barely keep himself up.

Terry kept close, casey grabbing and holding Ryan and adams hands, squeezing them gently. God... Why now of all times did jack seem... Okay?? Why did he seem okay...

Sherman blinked, "Hey..bud.." He said as he clutched the vial. Why does he seem...fine? "..I.." How does he say..this?

Adam looked at Jack, squeezing Casey's hand back gently. Oh god..this is gonna be..hard.

"....its time.... To go... H.. huh...?" Jack laughed weakly, "finally..." He coughed up some of the sludge, it flying to the floor and splashing a little. ".....i wanted.... To get another.. last goodbye with you guys..." His legs buckled, causing him to crash to the floor with a grunt.

"...h... Hurt..." He groaned like he usually did, shaking his head. "Fuck.... Ezra... Ezra didn't do any of this... Don't ever hate him.. pl.. please..."

Caseys shoulders raised, Ryan tearing up quickly.

Adam felt tears well up in his eyes, he held back a sob. He buried his face in Casey's shoulder.

Sherman knelt down next to Jack quickly, "...I won't bud, I promise.." He said as his voice cracked. He held Jack's hand gently, "I'm so..sorry this happened to you bud.."

"... I don't... Mind it too much.... Actually... Aside from the feeling of being.. drowned and eaten alive.." Jack laughed softly. "..i get to see you all one last time..." He tried to get up again, legs shaking.
