"No one should have to go through this alone, adjusting is confusing enough as it is. And you should have company around you while you're healing!"

Who was looking after Clary? He worried what would happen to someone whose memories began to trickle back, should they slip up in front of a camera. The most dangerous enemies were ones you couldn't see, couldn't fight. She needed someone watching her back. What if the police came to her door and she couldn't defend herself?

"It's a deal. Chirpy could always use an extra babysitter." Food, though... Jack couldn't help the dismal look that flashed across his face. "Uh... Well. I'd say four out of ten times we have food? Depends how hungry Ibaraki's feeling. If there's none today we can go to the store..."

He didn't think he'd ever get used to it, making plans like a civilian. Like a normal person.
