The finish line
The new element that immediately jumps to the eyes is the silence of the apartment is filled. The air is deprived of the hum of computers to Jim, of Helena laughter, jokes and Josh, so empty, it reveals almost suffocating. Helena and Josh sit in the living room, not daring to utter a word. The letter that Jim has left them leaning on the table in front of the sofa, now useless, the initial outburst was followed by sadness, perhaps resignation - both know that if Jim decided, nothing and no one will report back.
remain there motionless for hours - that could very well be days - and this time, there are plans to organize as happened to Thomas, there are attempts to heal the wound. Patiently waiting for the bleeding let alone heal. * "I need air," is the first thing that comes to mind to tell Josh. He gets up, asks if he wants to go quickly with him, and the refusal of Helena, leaves the house. She remains seated, gathers again the letter, reads, trying to convince himself that it's all true, that this is not a well thought out plan of Lena Luthor. It is not, and at heart he is fully conscious, but we know that hope is the last to die. Finally, it sets up, just to make a tour of the house looking at every corner. Note the absence of all objects of Jim, all the missing details: it seems that, quite simply, he has never lived there, it was just a dream and, now, she and Josh have just woken from a long night's sleep.
In his room, resting on the pillow, he finds a second envelope of paper with your name written on it. Inside is a CD and nothing else, and Helena takes a while to finally find the courage to watch it.
In the film, the metallic voice of Jim does not apologize, does not provide explanations, it invites them to follow him or leave him alone, he tells a story, however: that of Selina Kyle and how, why, when the ' abandoned.
"I understand who I am, Helena," she says what was once his best friend, "perhaps it is time to do it too." She pulls out the CD from the drive and hoping it will shatter into a thousand pieces, throws him against the wall in a rage. Vicious, that simply bounce and reclining, in full, on the floor. * Upon his return, Josh finds her in bed, surrounded by complete darkness. She noted that her breath smells of alcohol more than necessary, while he lay down, then makes a sliding arm around her waist to hold her own, without even knowing who is awake ask.
"We can go the same as we have done so far," begins Josh, "you and me alone. We are able to get away, no? "
Helena nods, because the darkness is easy to cling to his shoulders and let her love the warm, clear your thoughts and that gives oxygen to breathe. In the darkness, it is easy to pretend not to know that will never be the same again.
*
allows him to unburden himself, staring at a wall in front of indistinct; can not even cry - there can be much more - so all it does is wait. Josh finally calmed down and kneeling before her, takes her hands between her own. "You said you do not care about her, that you'd never looked up." He stared into my eyes and hope - or fear - is too obvious to be ignored. "This is still true, right?"
Helena does not respond, he throws her arms around his neck and left to tighten. "I love you," is all you can whisper, with a sense of guilt that knotted my throat.
*
Helena is sure of his feelings, as well as those of Josh, warns that even these have been exacerbated in recent times, have become as stubborn
. Yet, there is no way to shake off the feeling that simply is not enough love. Josh kisses her she nearly went in their lives, as if he were to lose at any moment, and she reciprocates with the same desperation, knowing that is exactly what is happening.
*
Their has always been a history of self-interest, including Jim and Thomas. It is for purely personal reasons that have been in contact and for reasons as individual remained together, their group was like a port of repair in the middle of the storm and the realization that it would not last for ever them, slowly, affected all.
Helena realize it the first time - alone and in secret - goes to meet Selina Kyle. In front of the woman who gave it to light and yet has never seen, he realizes that it is time to find their own way - to choose
, as they chose, and Jim Thomas.
In that thought there is nothing that makes it very happy.
*
There is something cold in his demeanor, now, something cruel and specifically adult stop him from smiling and joking, as if her heart had hardened a bit '. Helena, with his new look, he can not come to terms. The feeling that love is no longer able to hold them together has become a certainty: it is one more reason, in his eyes, to make that decision, to make that step.
"I want to go to her," he confessed one night, while sitting in the same room where they read the note to Jim several months before. "I feel that we must try."
to ask her to change her mind, Josh did not even think about it - has always been a history of self-interest, their, and perhaps he always knew he, too, so that this new choice of Helena it is hardly surprising.
reach out and interlace the fingers of her own, squeezing it, not daring to do anything else.
*
Josh stares at the other side carefully the bed - the bag is placed in the middle of it, how to divide them - and smiles of his innocence, just the way it was shortly after meeting her. "It would never have my place, you know. I am the son of a villain, I would see us in the middle of the Bat-Family? "Reply, without hiding the mockery.
That phrase is pick up the thread of an old abandoned long discussion, a line of demarcation that Josh had tried to put together at first, but then was abandoned because of the feelings that had been imposed. The retrieve it now causes Helena to a fierce pang of pain, just those simple words because the idea of having lived seven years of illusion takes root in the chest, taking away any desire to persevere.
greet a few hours later, the door of the apartment that was Jim and now will be left to dust. Josh is not bent to kiss her and she finds the strength to say goodbye, all that does is raise a hand to stroke his face, then give it back and leave.
While walking down the stairs and steps that move away from him more and more, it asks if you will review, if there is new hope for them, or will it all end well, on the landing of an apartment for rent. Certainties at the moment, it does not have, what we know is that love for Josh, even if hidden or dormant, will not leave ever.
