It is still the second night after Jack's breakdown. Dtui is calling Kiyoshi's mind to Tae Yang Monastery. Their retreat in the otherwold. They have to talk...
Dtui tells Kiyoshi what was really going on with Jack. That Jack wanted to kill Kiyoshi because he thought it was Kiyoshi who tortured them. And that Jack was about to endanger their mission and put Vlad's life (and the life of the others) in jeopardy by trying to kill their principal and her daughter. The council would wipe them from the planet if they laid their hands on humans...
Dtui: "I told you it would be hard. Give up on him. It's the best for all of you. Jack himself wouldn't forgive you if you put Vlad's life at stake because of him. The mission is your priority. As well as your duty to the Temple. You asked only one thing of him - to trust you. He never did."
Dtui: "He is so happy there and doesn't miss anything. He could leave if he wanted, but he didn't. He made his decision. Don't make it hard for him. Let go, Kiyoshi. It's the best for him, for the others - and for you. Right, Kesuke?" Kesuke did the only right thing ^^'
Kiyoshi and Dtui went over to the sanctuary to meditate and Kiyoshi dived in his memories with Jack.
So many of them are tainted. Now that Kiyoshi knows what was going on in Jacks mind. Jack never trusted him.
All the years he had spent studying to be a good Alpha for Jack - wasted. He didn't help Jack - he drove him deeper in his madness with his dominant behavior trying to be something he wasn't.
Kiyoshi was torn. Yes, he wanted Jack back so bad. But this was only for his own selfish needs. Jack is happier without him. He pushed Jack too far by thinking that if he only kept him on a short leash and lead him with a strong hand it would work out somehow. But Jack is not a dog - he is a wolf. A mad wolf that never can be tamed.
Kiyoshi said a last prayer at the shrine and left.
oh Kiyoshi :,(
S he's like the wind through my tree/S he rides the night next to me S he leads me through moonlight/Only to burn me with the sun S he's taken my heart/But s he doesn't know what s he's done
Just a fool to believe I have anything s he needs S he's like the wind
S he's Like The Wind - Patrick Swayze
