[No, he definitely doesn't want to be here. He doesn't want to see their happy reunion, where Jesse gets the girl -again- and everyone is on drugs and they go make some crackbabies together happily ever after. Not really.]
[And he's so good at being told to take a hike by this point in his life that whatever he feels about it never makes it onto his face. Instead, he smiles. It's the fallback expression, the one that instantly slaps itself across his face when everything is fucked up beyond all belief. At this point he usually goes to get the manager. This time, he just goes.]
[He gets to his feet and shakes off the money Jesse threw at him, watching it drift down like a flock of lazy paper birds, whirling and chattering. It's a surreal experience, and it draws all of his focus, so he can't quite look up at Jane when he mumbles his goodbye.]
If you need anything, call. Even after dark. I'll come...
[Not that he expects to be heard, anyway. Whatever. This is almost the good ending, even if it makes him feel sick and sad. He tiptoes away and closes the door behind him, locking it this time.]
