LMAO makes an entire family for a dead woman, she's got more background than Tony

Jack isn't going to be getting any sympathy. But he has to know that. He came to the wrong house if he's looking for anything outside of condemnation. Tony himself is struggling. Didn't feel anything? What about all the things she wanted to do. Gone. Worthless. Unfulfilled. Be a mother to her child, take that fancy Swiss vacation she'd joked about, gotten a dog, paid her latest speeding ticket— It's just a long list of nothing Tony and Jack are left holding in her absence. And Tony is feeling it sharply enough to be crumbling to pieces on the inside.

His usual go-to for coping is distractions. Jokes. Work. Focusing on the "fix" and ignoring the cause. That's what he does. It's how he functions. As such the knowledge Sofia is with her grandparents at least is...sedating? Not calming. There's no "peace of mind". But he can mentally step back enough to take a breath and look at the ceiling.

It's best he doesn't look at Jack right now.

"I'm never going to forgive you. You know that." Statement of fact. Business and to the point. Jack isn't just on his shit list for life. Jack is his shit list. Forever. "What was it? Drunk driver? Picking up your laundry and she crossed the road? Deranged derelict at the grocery store with a knife?"
