You're just breaking my heart, here, with passages like this:

Once, he wouldn't have been sitting here. He would have been running around the world, back to Chloe or the force-field, or to Oliver or to a doctor or to someone or something that could solve this; sure that there would be a way, must be a way, had to be a way to save his friend. He had been sure he was invincible and anything was possible, and he would not have given up, not for any reason. Wouldn't give up on anyone, but most especially not Lex. Not his best friend, never.

Aww...1st season Clark breaks my heart, because that's really how he seems, to me. It's so sad he loses that loyalty (sad for Clark and Lex alike!)
