Magic... just isn't something people believe in anymore. Not when they have other things to explain things. Science came in and helped humans figure out, for the most part, how the world works. They just don't want to believe that a lot of it can be personified into something like me.
I'm not Jack Frost to them. Just a cold front that comes in when half the world isn't as close to the sun as the other half because of the tilt of the planet.
[And it isn't like they're wrong. For the most part, anyway. It's just that nature is more than just biology and ecosystems and stuff. But Jack didn't really learn things on the scientific scale as he came into his role, so it was hard for him to explain things like that. Hell, he couldn't even really explain it to himself. He just... brought winter. End of story.]
I just don't know how to explain things at their level. I had to learn how to bring Winter on my own, so all I know is... well, what I learned from being out there. Anything else is what I overheard in the kids' classes when I got curious, sometimes. Because I wondered what was making the kids stop... stop believing in magic. A lot of... of mythical beings are just that nowadays. Myth, legend, they're gone.
[He worries he'll be next, even though he's existed for so long without much belief to begin with.]
