Scene after scene the hologram showed glory filled battles of 'the big four' and with each scene Jack sunk deeper and deeper into the couch.
They didn't die.
Technically, they were still alive. They never had experienced what he had. They never died and was reanimated back to life, they simply transformed. The reason, Jack realized, that they never asked on how he died and became a spirit was simply because he was the only one. Jack had 'lived' his entire existence by himself.
But in this moment he had never felt more alone.
Now, don't get him wrong. He was happy that they didn't have to go through that. And he understood what they, also, had to give up to be who they are today. But... look what they had accomplished. They managed to defeat the embodiment of fear itself and keep their lives impacted when no one else could. In their first weeks as spirits no less! He, on the other hand was just learning on using his powers and to avoid crashing into trees.
This made Jack once again wonder how on earth the Man in the Moon thought that Jack would be most qualified to be the new guardian.
Loud cries of celebration from the children jerked Jack out of his thoughts Jamie was jumping up and down with his friends in excitement from the heat, and victory of the battle the big four had fought "Jack, Jack! Did you see that?! They were like, WHOOP, and SHABAM! And- and just. So cool."
Jack smiled weakly "Yea, yea your right! It was pretty cool."
Claude turned towards Jack "Hay man, Look! Your part is starting!"
And for Jack, time stopped.
