   Summary

   Or - "If you knew the truth you'd probably hate me"

   As Jax recovers from his panic attack at the Awards Show he discovers an undesired reminder of his emotional turmoil in the form of a multi-colored eye staring right back at him, reminding him of his failure to upkeep the mask he assigned himself. And to make everything worse, Pomni enters the scene.
