Pomni blinks up at him, uncomprehending.
“Your… ears?”
Jax nods, swallowing back the bile building in his throat.
“Pulling them hurts?” Pomni guesses.
“You… he pulled them until I–” he sucks in a breath, letting it out in a shaky exhale. “I'm not… It's like a costume, Pomni. He tore it off.”
Jax grapples with the aftermath of the torment nexus.

Summary
"Jax," she coaxes, gently. "What’s going on?"
His scowl falls lopsided, buckling under the strain of her question. He lets out a frustrated growl, runs a hand down his face.

“You can talk to me,” Pomni reminds him.
“There’s nothing to talk about.”
“Okay…” Pomni gives a hesitant nod, not wanting to feed any further into his instincts to dig his heels in and deny the obvious. “Then talk to me about nothing.”
In another life, Jax's final attempt to reach out to Pomni goes a little differently.
