Perhaps it was some level of numbness that had kept Jack from piecing together the question and what that might mean. But for no moment had he expected the Doctor would run to the cliff and jump to the water.
The realisation came though in stark contrast when the Doctor set off at a run.
He waited just a moment, stood still in shock, and then he launched after him.
He stalled at the cliffs edge just to look down. Just one moment to look, to watch. What was he doing? Why had he done this? Was it some sort of suicide? He could hardly hate him for it if it were. But he wasn't going to hang around and find out. And so he made a leap himself. He called the Doctor's name at the top of his lungs and jumped down from the cliff's edge and into the water below.
