No. [ He confirmed, but he didn't let go of her hand. Jinx might be the one to reach out, but even Silco -- who never reached out -- would hold her hand for a moment, as if he too needed to know it was real.
After all, he remembered now, something that nagged at the back of his mind. Something in Horos, that had never come to pass, and he had forgotten somehow. It had been taken from him, and Jinx had never been there. Perhaps it had been a kindness, that she had not had to live through two worlds ending, but Silco hated it, just like he hated so many things. That he would remember now is the only thing that kept him from burning himself at both ends to raze Horos to the ground beneath his feet. ]

He'd seen other faces that he recognized, although he hoped they didn't bother to catch sight of him, trying to pull Jinx out from the tree's roots. He wanted to tug her out of the ground, get her somewhere safe, and away from everyone else here, but...
