( He comments, just a touch wry under all that dry delivery. He's said it before: he'd make a terrible detective. It's truly a miracle he survived his unsanctioned research trip to that meth lab that one time. He tends to actively avoid getting roped into mysteries when he can — and he stumbles his way begrudgingly through them when he can't. It's more that the universe engineers Jack into solving things, rather than any real talent on Jack's part.
But maybe that in and of itself is a talent, or a magic, or a power. Weird protag reality-rearranging plot powers. If he spent any real time actively considering this possibility, this might be where Jack's hero arc began.
But he doesn't, and it fizzles, and he'll never look any deeper into it, the end.
