[Her words come quick, barely registering in her conscious mind before they flow through her lips. In her anger, she very nearly drops the pokegear, but just as it begins to slip, her grip tightens. She knows that he needs to see this, the anger, the fear — everything that he had spent the better part of two decades making her feel.]
[It won't make a difference, deep down she knows that. But in this place, with all this apparent magic, was it so hard to believe that it could have fixed what was broken inside of him? Perhaps if he could see just how much she had been hurt — by him, no less — it would all get better.]
[Of course it was. Even as he spoke, she knew deep down that he hadn't changed. That he thought she was the one apologizing was evidence enough of that.]
[Revulsion followed after her thoughts. She had believed herself to be so strong. She had told the Vault Hunters that she knew just how manipulative Jack could be. What should have been her last words reaffirmed that. But the only reason Angel had lashed out before was because she, and the rest of the planet, for that matter, had reached its breaking point. Now? Not so much.]
[Angel clenched her jaw, forcing herself to remember every single pain that Jack had put her through. She had to remember his monstrosity. She had to remember that the man she once thought of as a father was no more, and had been gone for a long time.]

Don't come anywhere near me, Jack.
