Summary
In the late hours of the night, when the world seems still, Jak can pretend he is home. Can forget that he is stuck in a city filled with cruelty and dangerous men, has been thrown into a world that makes little sense to him. It was easier to cope when there was a war to fight. Someone always needed a favour, Torn and Krew’s constant demands and missions kept him running. One objective after the next, always running, running from the past, from the thoughts inside his head. There was no time to miss sunsets at Geyser Rock or think, for even a fraction of a second, about all he endured at the Baron's hands.
***
The war is over, and the Metal-Head leader is dead, Haven can rebuild and heal after decades of death. Only Jak can't seem to stop, is lost and out of place in this foreign place, unable to heal or face the pain of his past.
Daxter is doing all he can to help Jak through the aftermath, but his best friend is falling apart faster then Daxter can catch him.Series

Summary
Jak wakes screaming, shivering, fighting off monsters that are no longer there. There’s nothing but darkness, pure panic and a racing heartbeat. Hands search the abyss for a weapon, an escape from the terror, from the hands that hurt and break and take. There’s nothing to fight, only empty frigid air and ghosts from a past Jak’s desperately trying to leave behind. Then there is a familiar voice calling to him from somewhere that is bright and safe and very far from this hellish nightmare world. Jak reaches out through the darkness, following the voice home.
***
Recovery isn't easy as Jak thought it would be, the nightmares are getting worse, the fear is leaving him paralysed and the urge to run has returned. He can't do this anymore, the darkness is rushing in and this time it might claim him for good.Series
