#beige's analysis

Jack has an organ donor card, implying that that is a service that is both possible and necessary in the Gaslight District. He lives in Chainport (same as the main gang). He's also been very generous with what he's offered to donate, he's ticked donating all necessary organs and tissues and has offered his body up for research/medical purposes (even though he can't die? Nobody can die? What is the purpose of this?).

His next-of-kin is his mom, so his mom is present in the gaslight district and there is a possibility of the people on the island dying or disappearing (probably the latter, considering what actually happened to him). I can't fully read his witness's name, but I think it might be Kathy. You know, another person who got cemented. Edit: it's not Kathy, it's Ken Hill. That has a whole other set of interesting implications for the show.

Also his signature has a little heart next to it, that's so cute :D

SECOND THING:

It's a very interesting thing to see, especially since we know that it came from his family minimizing him and shaming him for being disabled as well as him having to contend with the stereotypes about walrinians being too loud, too angry, and too egotistical to care about those around him.

And it does get people to like him more, but being a people pleaser is also hurting him! He's completely silent about the fact that he gets diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour and he's utterly exhausted, but he is remains polite even in circumstances when his anger would not only be justified, it would probably help him.

It also says something that he is dead-set on helping those smaller and weaker and less fortunate than he is. He is really someone who has experienced what it is like to be bullied and weak and, now that he's in a situation where he is one of the bigger ones, wants to help other people. He's refused to let the pain his family put him through break him, he's refused to let other people's violence and bad habits make him bitter, and that is honestly what gives his character so much appeal.

Because let's be real. Ken would literally lock his daughter in the restaurant forever if he could. It would drive Mel actually insane. And Breadhead, as much as he loves his sister, would never disobey or object to his father on this topic. We see in the pilot though, Mud consistently saying that Ken should just...let his daughter have this little piece of freedom. Just let her do this thing. Saying that Ken should actually let Mel function inside the gang before she starts fully losing her shit and causing chaos. And a lot of it is Mud being drastically misinformed of the situation (after all, he thinks Mel is a rotling like the rest of them and that Ken is being pretentious about her for no good reason).

We can see from the pictures and the way that Mud and Mel talk about him that he was VERY close with this family and probably understood just how toast he was when he learner their little family secret by accident. Mel was comfortable enough with him to be reading a dirty magazine in front of him and neither of them seemed to think anything of it. She gave him a second chance to agree to hide the secret and live and he turns it down. Mud gave him a cig before they threw him into the sea.

We can see from his organ donor card that he also trusted them all. He wrote a little heart next to his name. Outside of the shop, he lives with his mother, and she's now probably wondering what happened to him. He trusted Ken enough to let him be the witness on the organ donor card.

He and Mel have a shockingly raw conversation in/on a fast-moving vehicle a few mere minutes into the pilot and it ends in a car crash because neither were paying attention to the road. He asks if what is happening to him right now will happen to Mud and Breadhead when they find out too. He tries talking to Mud and Breadhead, even as they were brutalizing him, trying to get them to just listen to him, to understand what was happening. They cement him anyways.

Take Shrike, for example. Lots of things wrong with him, and you'd think that being both a LAW officer and an endling would be a protected enough position in society that someone would think to try and figure out what's wrong with him, or help him move to a position that fits him better, or anything along those lines. But no, he pretty much got slapped with a "broken" sticker and left to suffer in his position before snapping and running away.

And there's certainly no help for people like Beebs, who've been abused and left to die by their entire species. Basically just left with a "good luck buddy", not even any sort of protection in case a member of his species were to come back and harass him.

Something about how all the alternative universes where Valkyrie does break are united by this constant feeling of wrongness, like there's something fundamentally off about the story. And of course there is, because Valkyrie doesn't break. Those other worlds aren't quite real, simply because they defeated her in the end.

Something about the way that most of her friends are normal, at least compared to her. Some of them are regular people, some of them are strong, incredibly strong, like iron. But they all break in the end. They go away eventually. The bodies keep piling up and Valkyrie cannot save any of them. She's incredibly, impossibly strong, but it's not enough to save her friends. And eventually, she's doomed to end up alone in the end.

Except for Skulduggery, of course. The same man who made her what she is. More an idol than a person, more a monster than anything else. Everyone keeps going away, but he's always found a way to stay by her side through hell and high water. He'll never leave her. She'll never leave him, even though once upon a time, she wanted to. For all the pain he caused her.
