[After Day 5, and the events of it, after Alice glares him down and he knows that she'll never forgive him, Jack checks the dozens of phone calls that he missed from the past few days, and his heart sinks as he sees who's called the most. Because he made a promise, and now he's going to have to call back. This is that call]
Sulu. I'm sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner. There... There really wasn't an opportunity to sit down and talk before now.
[Sulu almost doesn't answer. He's been sleeping so much that he's constantly tired, and the act of turning his head to look at his blinking communicator is almost too much effort. But, he answers. He has to, even if his voice is barely usable, scratching the back of his throat as it comes out.]
Yeah. [Because what else is there to say to that?]
[Jack hangs his head. Just from the other man's tone of voice, he knows that he knows, that he's seen it, and it makes everything that much more difficult. He takes in a deep breath and lets it out slowly, needing to wait another few moments after that before he can find the courage to speak up again.]
You saw, then. [A statement. There's no doubt of that anymore] Then you know that Ia--... [His breath catches; he can't say his name, not so soon after everything] He wanted me to tell you... [But he can't finish that sentence either. He squeezes his eyes shut]
[It was terrifying, hearing Jack start to say his name, because if he said it - he wasn't sure what would happen. The world would end, probably. Already did that, but. There was always another end of the world.]
Yeah. [He says it again, the only word in his vocabulary that doesn't make it harder. Yeah. He saw, he saw both videos, he even saw the one posted more recently because, because - maybe there'd been a mistake, he'd hoped, but. No.]
I know. [He steeled his voice, put on his best, "sir, yes sir" voice and said.] What now?

It was a bit rhetorical because I figured my mental health was obviously in question by now.
