Jimmy

Background
Jimmy Henderson, only child of Molly and Reggie Henderson, was Lucas' best friend throughout grade school and into his first year of high school. Knowing that Lucas was abused at home, Jimmy would manufacture any plausible excuse to get his best buddy to hang out with him instead. This was easy for Jimmy; he had a kind of wry charm that seemed to work on adults and other kids alike.

On one of their outings, Jimmy fell off the monkey bars and the sharp pieces of gravel embedded into his knee. The doctors ran a standard blood panel to see if there was any risk of tetanus, but instead found the markers for blood-borne cancer. Lucas spent as much time with his best friend as possible over the next year, until Jimmy eventually lost his battle with leukemia.

Present
At the start of 'Rhythm', Ihy appeared as the visage of Jimmy when he made the Hosting offer to Lucas.

Later, Izadore offered a special gift to Molly and Reggie. Curious, they accepted. He channelled a representation of Jimmy across the Void, and talked about his relationship with Lucas and how much he loved his parents, even in the hardest of times. He held Lucas up as a second son to his parents, and represented Molly and Reggie as the parents Lucas always deserved. This seemed to bring a measure of closure and healing to Reggie and Mollie that they hadn't been able to achieve since their son passed on.
