The tears of a clown~

She's a Joker, created not only to Entertain but to Mark~ and Remember~. She Eats Secrets~ and holds a Mirror~ for any who ask and--sometimes--when she feels someone needs to See~. She was never made for friendship. She was meant to hold herself back, to be Friendly but Apart, to be Listener but never Friend. She'd broken that rule not Once~ but Twice~

The Butlery had taken time to peer beneath the patter and makeup and act to learn the true Jubilee. She's adrift without him. She was a better Joker with him. She knows this. He'd reminded her what it was to be More than Joker. Had First Joker been wrong? Could Favorites exist so long as they weren't Favored? Isaac would tell her to value Friends.

For the first time, Jubilee doesn't know what to do.

Her Heart Hurts~
