[ Jack has no idea if the shard will maintain the images on it for more than a night or so, if they'll wake up and find that it's reverted to simply colored glass, but he is strangely glad that Gabriel made a point of grabbing it.

[ He really shouldn't have provided the name at all, because he knows Gabriel is just playing dumb (it's not a detail someone like him would forget), but it comes out of his mouth before he can think better of it. ]

[ Jack had been forced to cut things off with Vincent due to Overwatch monopolizing his life more and more. When they'd first gotten together, Jack had no inkling of what his future would hold. He might not have maintained the relationship so long if he'd known that, and while breaking things off with Vincent had been the right thing, he's certainly a symbol of what could have been if Jack's life had gone a different way. ]
