I'm on the council. [He'd done the work to get there-] Vialli is dead and Ogundimu is back in his seat taking charge, the reason for the entire shift. It's already causing discontent amongst a number of Talon members at least. [That was what he'd counted on. Such an abrupt shift in power and direction that there'd be enough cracks made to slip through.
They were all supposedly on equal footing in terms of power, but it wasn't unusual for infighting to occur if a decision wasn't agreed upon, even after the motions to go through with it were already in motion. People happily going ahead with their own plan.
Hell, then and there no one would understand better than Jack; the weight of that certain loss and- well. Reyes himself. Taking another swig from the bottle before he even dared start talking again, the liquor enough to at least get him talking.]
I was already isolating myself. [Before Overwatch fell, gesturing with the bottle as the neon purple liquid inside sloshed a bit.] Here? Here people kept wanting in, didn't want me to be alone. Wanted me to have hope when I already knew it was a waste on me.
