And that was it, just like that. Peter was done with him, and it hurt more than all the words. Since speaking isn't expected anymore, he doesn't try, a truly pathetic sight as he keeps silently sniffling, tears gone as soon as they come. Things had hurt before, but never this much; never this sharp. Even Angelica's death hadn't been as hard on him. He had never hesitated to leave before, so what was this sudden second thought? Is it because of his stint in Hiro's coffin, or just because .. Peter. Peter was truly special; he would have stayed by Adam as long as he thought he was sincere. He hadn't stopped being useful in the least, but he had burned that bridge--twice now, and for what? To break both their hearts.
He had rarely given up on someone before they truly stopped being useful, or at least before he was bored. Here he was in unprecedented territory brought about by unprecedented circumstance. Was next wife to be Twelve? Or Eleven number II? Though in true, Adam surely doubts another marriage is what he needs. Not now, or even close to now. His personal prophecy had proven itself already; Number Eleven had saved him. Even if things were never as they seemed. 400 years and still learning new things. This lesson is much more humbling than most, and he finds himself learning to hate himself, more than anything.
In his, admittedly weak, defense - he had never had the opportunity to see the future, had never seen the world crumble at his leaving. Then again, he had never cared before, and he wasn't sure it would've changed anything. He should go, but Peter wouldn't let him kill himself; wouldn't do it himself. He supposed he would eventually wake up, but it seemed a shame to waste the time he had here. If he ever saw his Peter again, he was sure the man wouldn't hesitate.
