"Well...on that we can agree at least," Jaune said, also wanting to err on the side of hope and optimism. Wasn't that his whole reason for continuing on anyway? Whether it was here or back home -- he hadn't given up yet that he and his friends could do something about the terrible things about to happen. He may not have always been the strongest, but he could be pretty stubborn when it was called for.
Jaune has to think for a minute. So much had happened since the survey part of the app had been used. "Oh...you mean the whole soul eating thing?" Again, tact Jaune, you should really work on that. To his credit, he doesn't seem scared so much as confused and perhaps a little worried or curious. "Sorry...that probably wasn't the best way to phrase that...I mean the app always brings up stuff we wouldn't necessarily want to go around sharing," he's babbling, which he does a lot these days, especially when he's put his foot in his mouth.
Jaune stops, takes a breath, and tries again, "Look. I don't want you to feel obligated to share everything with me. It...it feels unbalanced, since I was already Awakened before you and so you weren't there for when I was a mess. You don't have to explain yourself or share these things your uncomfortable with if you don't want to. You aren't obligated to..."
He wants to believe that the person he has memories of here isn't completely gone, but he also knows that might be something he'll have to accept. That's probably been the hardest part in dealing with all of this: consolidating memories of two different lives and trying to come to terms with that.
But...the guy was openly sobbing in his kitchen a few seconds ago. Surely he can't be a complete monster. As he insisted before on the network...there has to be some kind of story, right? And while Jaune just said that he isn't obligated to share, there's a part of him that really wants to know.
