Why This Must Be Read: This is simply gorgeous, as Jack and Daniel contemplate what-might-have-beens in the context of the quantum mirror. Their pauses and silences speak more than the actual words they use, and it just perfectly and poignantly them.
Jack can't say it, but he's given Daniel permission to, now. "As I understand it, there would actually be an infinite number of universes in which Charlie is alive," Daniel says, steadily, his own eyes fixed on the stars, because he can't look at Jack and say Charlie's name, not at the same time.
