He's paralyzed, just staring at the elder avatar as his mind pings back and forth, runs down all the rabbit-holes of what Elias could do, how many more people he could hurt. How much he could hurt Agnes, if left to it. But one life. One life versus so many. But she's important to him. But she's caused so much suffering on her own. But that wasn't her choice. But-
The walls of the office feel closer once more, and Jon's starting to tremble. He's not equipped to make this choice. Every option is a bad option. He shouldn't have asked because now he has to make the choice. It's either abandon Agnes to her fate or give Elias everything.
He can't make this choice. He cannot make this choice.
So, he runs. No answer. Jon just stumbles back from the desk and rushes to the door to have his panic attack away from Elias' prying eyes. At least his physical ones.]

The end of the week, Jon.
[And he goes back to work like he didn't just ruin a man's life.
Again.]
