The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been.

This little interlude with Lola is going to be short, but I think it’s important to see her and Jacob interacting.  History is a deep and sticky web, and these two shared — and caused — a lot of it.

↓ Transcript
Lola: So you know about Guayaquil. Do you expect me to feel remorse? We saved the world. Some innocents died. I don't regret that. Neither should you. All this can be fixed, Jacob. Come back with me.
Jacob: No. You've erased so many of my memories...I'm not sure who I am anymore.
Lola: That was to protect you.
Jacob: Maybe. But it left nothing but the soldier, robotically following orders. I need to prove that I'm more than that.
Lola: What will you do?

    Yay! I could watch them talk for some pages more. 🙂
    What will Jacob answer…?

    I hate her. I really, REALLY don’t like excuses for poor behavior.

    Jacob has some good lines here, a little look inside his head when we don’t get much of that.
