Days became weeks, weeks became months, and months became years, everything went so fast, one minute i didn't had nothing, but one second later..... I had family.

Joan: Jeb Darling, how's your work today?

Jebediah: Pretty normal actually, there wasn't any problems, and there isn't a real threat on this city, so everything's fine.

Joan: Splendid, now, did you...

Jebediah: Mother.

Joan: I'm just askiiiiing~

Jebediah: Really?

Joan: Come on, don't hold any secrets.

Jebediah: I'm not.

Joan: I'm talking seriously here, when are you going to find a fine lady for yourself? You're such a young and handsome lad, might find yourself a partner as well.

Jebediah: Work doesn't give me much time, so i'm just living "normally". By the way, how's father?

Joan: Darwin's just stressed from all the papers, you know how he is, nothing he can't handle.

Jebediah: And you?

Joan: 'Sigh' Same, same, you know how working with papers makes you mentally stressed.

Jebediah: Yes, but it's better than being in the front of an army, that's a sure fact.

Joan: Correct, now darling, follow my advice okay?

Jebediah: ?

Joan: Life's not only marriage, girlfriends, dates, lovers, they come one way or the other, but life's about partners, friends, anyone that you can spend some time with, don't you think's better to spend the happy moments with someone than being alone and not having anyone to show how good the feeling of happiness is?

Jebediah: ....

Joan: So remember okay? You know how i am, i like to tease you, so don't mind me asking whether you have a girlfriend or not.

Jebediah: ..... 'Smile' Hmpf, excellent.

Joan: Now, try to have fun okay? You have a long life to follow for you to spent alone only, so try to find some good friends okay?

Jebediah: .... Ah-

Joan: Mr. Dock doesn't count.

Jebediah: Oh..... Ah-

Joan: And the guys from the Quarters doesn't count aswell.

Jebediah: ..... Then i don't have nothing to add.

Joan: Most excellent my child.

Jebediah: Bloody hell, i'm knackered.

Joan: SHIU! Language!

Jebediah: 'Chuckles' Good night for you too mother.

I kissed her cheek and went to sleep, but what she said really caught me, i started hanging around more, not exactly going out like a player or something, i just started talking more with other people.

Jebediah: 'Sip'

Man: 'Sigh' Carla, watch who you walk...

Jebediah: Your sister?

Man: My daughter.

Jebediah: Hmm, who's she's walking with?

Man: A stupid boy from her school.

Jebediah: Damn, bloody bastard.

Of course i was still the same serious guy, stoic or whatever way you want to add, it went like that until i was 24, i wasn't a young lad or child anymore, i was now an adult, but at least i didn't passed the same giant ice wall feeling i had.

Boy: 'Trembling'

Jebediah: What's the matter child?

Boy: I-It's my first time here, i-i heard it's hell on earth.

Jebediah: Nonsense, they say that like when you tell a horror story to a child.

Boy: ?

Jebediah: More importantly, can you help me carry these papers? I need to work some of them on my desk, if you want i can tell you somethings that will happen for you so that i take your confusion.

Boy: T-Thank you sir.

Jebediah: No worries son, now, explain who said that will ya?

I used to assure the newbies that there wasn't nothing to worry about, and the "Hell" they used to hear was that many kids that became soldiers didn't used to train or have any physical capacity, so they usually would have a tiring training, that actually is just a regular training for someone that would have a normal physical training now and then.

After those things.

Jebediah: Hello child.

Boy: O-Oh, M-Mr. Dean, h-how can i help you?

Jebediah: Would ya want to join me and my friends for a cheeky pint?

Boy: Eh?

Jebediah: Would ya want a drink?

Boy: O-Oh! I don't usually drink but-

Jebediah: Come on, you don't have exactly to drink if you want, but if you need someone to talk, then we are there.

Boy: .... I-I would like.

Jebediah: Good, see you there.

I became a gentleman, like my father used to try and make me become one, of course i started developing my own view about myself and the world.

Darwin: Son?

Jebediah: Yes father?

Darwin: I heard that your mother taught you to be more care-free , is that right?

Jebediah: No no, and Care-free is a bit extreme actually.

Darwin: Care to explain?

Jebediah: Well, she saw how i usually was always stressed, not having someone to talk or going out and having friends, so she said to me that it's better living life with a partner, or a friend, than living a life fully alone.

Darwin: Hmmm.

Jebediah: But i know one thing, i'm a soldier ever since i was adopted by you, and i know that being one carries a huge weight, if i was a care free person i would be nothing but a selfish man, so i know that living my life's hard, and i will protect everyone that i love while being around them, you can say i'm kinda like a father, like you, father.

Darwin: ..... 'Smile' You learned well.

Jebediah: Hehe, i had the best of the best in both sides.

Darwin: Now.

" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! "

In the distance, i was hearing a baby cry.

Jebediah: Oh! He woke up already?

Darwin: Can you take care of him?

Jebediah: Yes father.

Getting in the room... It was... A baby room?

????: Aaaah! Waaaah!

Jebediah: Now now..

Don't cry Edward, you have to be strong to be a true man.

Edward: 'Whimpering'

Jebediah: Here..

I was holding the baby, he was so.... Small, like the smallest and softest flake of snow could shatter him in pieces.

Jebediah: Sssshh....

But... I can't remember him, i can't remember nothing after... All i remember...

'BURN!!!'

'CRASH!!'

Jona: GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! 

The house burning down.

Jebediah: No.

'SCHKNIT!'

Darwin: GLURGH!

My family dying.

Eddie: No.

Edward: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

'SPLASH!'

And i couldn't do nothing...

Jebediah: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

Eddie: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Jannie: EDDIE!

Eddie: 'Pant' 'Pant' I'm just a.... I'm just a dead man...

A dead man walking on the world of the living.
