BLOODLINE JACKSEPH,,,,,,,, omg i always think of them as like exes (even divorced) that r still both down bad with each other. they claim otherwise, but they do miss each other (probably meet each other in secret, just to know whats up with the other. yeah ITS THAT BAD of a denial)

the separation likely involved with power titles involving politics, having different perspectives in certain important things that placed a rift between them, and it got to the point they have to do the last resort (divorcing). banquet stuff happen, and joseph is on top now, but the satisfaction of being the most powerful vampire in the covenant rings hollow w/o jack by his side. he always thought that he'd reach here without losing him in the end u_u
